During the 1980s, blues musician Daryl Davis embarked on a journey to understand the Ku Klux Klan. To achieve this, he began forming friendships with Klan members at their rallies and even became a part of an all-white country band. Over time, Davis crossed paths with Imperial Wizard Roger Kelly. Through years of effort, Davis cultivated a relationship with Kelly, fostering trust that ultimately evolved into a genuine friendship. They shared meals at each other's homes, with Davis attentively listening to Kelly's perspective, striving to understand how someone could harbor such hatred towards him without even knowing him. Over time, Kelly began to reciprocate Davis's openness, eventually renouncing his affiliation with the Klan and presenting Davis with his robes and hood. Davis was later invited to be Kelly's daughter's godfather. Davis went on to forge friendships with over twenty members of the KKK, and he asserts that his efforts directly led to the departure of between forty and sixty individuals from the organization. Additionally, he believes his influence indirectly prompted over two hundred people to disassociate from the Klan.
