Daryl Davis has dedicated his life to building just and caring communities free of antisemitism and all forms of prejudice and bigotry.  Throughout his life, he sought an answer to the question, “How can you hate me when you don’t even know me?”  This is a common experience to that of Holocaust survivors, who experienced the horror of a world where Jewish people were hated simply for being Jewish.

Over the course of many years, Daryl bravely befriended members of the Ku Klux Klan. His persistent and deep conversations with white supremacists led to over 200 individuals leaving the white nationalist movement – with many of them giving their robes or other artifacts to Daryl.  This is the first time Daryl’s story is being told in a museum.  The exhibit showcases the history and culture of hate and injustice. It highlights the power we have as a community to become activists and to create cultures of equity, respect and compassion.

The exhibit culminates in a conversation space allowing you to ponder and consider the question Daryl often asks, “What new seed will you plant?”
