(BUSINESS INSIDER) — Daryl Davis is an accomplished blues musician who’s played alongside legends like Chuck Berry and Jerry Lee Lewis. But he’s probably better known for his longtime hobby of making friends with white supremacists.
Davis, 58, has spent years traveling the country and forging friendships with members of the Ku Klux Klan and similar hate groups, the Independent reports. Davis says that because of his efforts, 200 people have renounced their membership in the KKK. Some have even given Davis their ceremonial robes and hoods as a gesture to signify their departure from the group.
Now, Davis’s unusual quest is the subject of a new documentary called “Accidental Courtesy.”
