Join us for a film screening and discussion of Accidental Courtesy: Daryl Davis, Race & America, the recently released documentary that won SXSW's Documentary Feature Competition Award and is a New York Times Critics' Pick.
Daryl Davis has an unusual hobby. He’s played all over the world with legends like Chuck Berry and Little Richard, but it’s what Daryl does in his free time that sets him apart.
Daryl likes to meet and befriend members of the Ku Klux Klan– something few black men can say. In his travels, he’s collected robes and other artifacts from friends who have left the klan because of his efforts, building a collection piece by piece, story by story, person by person in hopes of eventually opening a “Museum of the Klan”.
In Accidental Courtesy, Daryl’s journey takes him to across the country, from DC to California, Arkansas, Tennessee, Missouri and Alabama, from old friends who have left the klan, to friends still active in the organization, including a current Imperial Wizard of the KKK. In an age of digital disconnection, Daryl’s method is rooted in personal interaction and we as viewers reap the rewards.
