Daryl Davis

Originally from Chicago, but currently residing in the Maryland suburbs of Washington, DC, Daryl Davis is a musician, actor, author and lecturer. He is not White. He’s not even light-skinned. Make no mistake about it; he is Black. Yet, Klan-Destine Relationships author and Accidental Courtesy film star Daryl Davis has come in closer contact with neo-Nazis and Ku Klux Klan members than most White non-members and certainly most Blacks — short of being on the wrong end of a rope.

In today’s racially charged climate, he is one of the most unique and controversial race relations experts and activists making a difference. As a musician he tours nationally and internationally leading The Daryl Davis Band. As an actor, he has also appeared in the critically acclaimed HBO series The Wire, along with other stage and screen roles.
