After one of Daryl Davis' (MD) Rock'n'Roll/Boogie Woogie performances, a man told it was
the first time he’d seen a Black man play piano like Jerry Lee Lewis. Daryl explained the Black origin of Lewis's style and the man became a fan. Turns out, he was a member of the Ku Klux Klan. This led to Daryl becoming the first Black author to interview KKK leaders and members, detailed in his highly acclaimed book, Klan-Destine Relationships. Today, Daryl owns numerous Klan robes and hoods, given to him by active members who renounced their racist ideology after meeting him.
