I’ve admired Daryl Davis’s story for years—a Black American blues musician who somehow became friends with members of the Ku Klux Klan, not to shame them, but to understand them. Through his initial, fascinatingly simple, yet radical act of curiosity, he’s helped more than 200 people leave hate groups and rediscover their shared humanity.In our conversation, Daryl shares his incredible story in that Maryland bar when a Klansman approached him after a gig—a meeting that would dramatically alter both of their lives. He shares with calm wisdom, how fear is learned, how dialogue can dissolve hatred, and how love & dignity disarm even the hardest hearts… that question that motivates his life’s work is:“How can you hate me when you don't even know me?“What rings so clearly about Daryl is that empathy is not weakness—it’s transformative strength. He embodies this truth. And I’m deeply honored to share this dialogue with you. May it remind us all that curiosity and compassion are not luxuries—they’re how we heal the world.Subscribe to Karmic Relief Podcast on YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/@iambobpeckConnect with Darylhttps://instagram.com/realdaryldavisInstagramhttps://www.instagram.com/karmicreliefpodhttps://www.instagram.com/bobpeckSpotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/7es7cjNdcSel032NLXr4wK?si=cf96e7379ab14052Apple Podcastshttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/karmic-relief/id1515029592More about Bob Peckhttps://www.linktr.ee/bobpeckTheme Music Scott Standley - "You Got It" https://www.scottstandley.comDesign by Paige Hasaballah & Bob Peck https://deltavenus.art
