Musician Daryl Davis has played all over the world with legends like Chuck Berry and Little Richard, but it’s what Daryl did in his free time that set him apart. Daryl met and befriended members of the Ku Klux Klan. In his travels, he collected robes and other artefacts from friends who have left the Klan, building a collection piece-by-piece, story-by-story, person-by-person in hopes of eventually opening a “Museum of the Klan”. In the independent documentary Accidental Courtesy, Daryl’s journey took him to across the country, from DC to California, Arkansas, Tennessee, Missouri and Alabama, from old friends who have left the Klan, to friends still active in the organization, including a current Imperial Wizard of the KKK. In an age of digital disconnection, Daryl’s method is rooted in personal interaction and the audience as viewers reap the rewards.
