Musician Daryl Davis Meets and Befriends Members of the Ku Klux Klan

Musician 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 affiliated with the Klan, building a collection piece by piece, story by story, and person by person in hopes of eventually opening a "Museum of the Klan", a testimony to what knowledge and respectful, personal communication can accomplish. In ACCIDENTAL COURTESY, Daryl's journey takes him to across the country, from old friends who have left the Klan, to friends still active in the organization, including a current Imperial Wizard of the KKK.

Winner of a Special Jury Award at the SXSW Film Festival.
