  • What do you do when someone just doesn't like you? I mean really, really not like you. And you know it. And what if that person, or those people, have made an open show of that dislike, without apology. What would you do? Davis is no stranger to this experience and has chosen a unique, and often viewed controversial, approach to such ponderings. He uses his boogie woogie piano to open doors to conversations that few would venture to start. Daryl endeavors to improve race relations and does not shy away from "reaching across the aisle" to members of the KKK. Daryl Davis is an American R&B and Blues musician, author, actor and bandleader, known for his energetic style of Boogie Woogie piano. Davis has played with such musicians as Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis, B.B. King, Bruce Hornsby, and Bill Clinton. His efforts to improve race relations, in which as an African-American he engaged with members of the Ku Klux Klan (KKK), have been reported on by media such as CNN, Newsweek Magazine, and the Washington Post. Davis summed up his advice as: "Establish dialogue. When two enemies are talking, they're not fighting." Daryl received rave reviews for his stage roles in William Saroyan’s The Time Of Your Life with a famed cast of Marcia Gay Harden, Brigid Cleary, Richard Bauer, Dion Anderson, and Henry Strozier. Davis was a key player in Elvis Mania which was extended by two months due to popular demand in New York City at an off-Broadway theatre. He appeared in two episodes of the critically acclaimed HBO series, The Wire. Davis is the author of the nonfiction book Klan-Destine Relationshipsand he is the subject of the documentary Accidental Courtesy. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

      Mark,
      I disagree, you can’t approach everyone, and it appears to me that Davis acts as if he is Jesus, and can save everyone With constant conversation when in fact he can’t. doing this can make things worse sometimes. his goal should be is to not get the kkk to surrender to him, but to Jesus only. The best way to help is to pray for him and let god take control, and that is something that Davis is NOT DOING, which doesn't make him the ideal model Example for all.

    The best, most enlightening TED talk I've ever seen, not just based on a feel-good story, but rather a no nonsense look at the long road to understanding. The hard work it takes to unshackle and remove the weight of years of troubling inner conflict and soul destroying hate. Imagine how good it must feel for Mr. Kelly to stop carrying that heavy bag of hate filled stones off his shoulders and stand up straight in front of god, or just himself in the mirror? The truth will set you free they say...

    Not everyone is 100% pure race, We're all humans (equal), What makes us different is money and status, But at the end of the day we all are the same
    We bleed the same color of blood which is red, May God bless america and everyone else Amen.

      A lot of people believe that there is more good than bad in the world I do not. I believe that humanity’s tendency is toward selfishness and greed and fulfillment of our base desires. It is a precious few that choose to rise above this mentality. It is a struggle but a noble one and it needs to be fought. This man is banishing ignorance and foolishness two very old enemies of humanity
