Klan-Destine Relationships

A Black Man's Odyssey in the Ku Klux Klan

by Daryl Davis

In this candid and provocative book, Davis shares the high and low points of an extraordinary journey that began when he set his sights on forming relationships with Klan members to get to the heart of their hate.

Davis, a popular musician who has jammed with Chuck Berry, uses his music as a bridge between the cultures. With rare courage, Davis exposes his own anger, along with his compassion, in his attempt to unearth the roots of prejudice and foster harmony between the races.

"Daryl Davis has traveled a journey toward racial healing that few of us might choose—but many of us could learn from."
— Christian Science Monitor

"Fascinating...Davis approaches his quest for information with equally impressive helpings of honesty, good humor and huge reserves of sheer nerve."
— Ann Arbor News

"Long before President Clinton initiated his national conversation on race, Daryl Davis was furthering the debate over discrimination and hate."
— Atlanta Journal-Constitution
