Those who censor, propagandize and obscure history are not the good guys. Perception control maintains illegitimate power—the kind of power that can not endure a confrontation with the truth. #RescueTheRepublic

People ask me all the time “Daryl why do you keep these robes & hoods?!” I keep them because maybe I’ll make a museum someday. And I keep them because we don’t burn our history—we learn from it. That’s something a white supremacist group would do and I definitely do not want to…

You cannot beat the hate out of a person, but you can love it out of them. I am living proof that friendship, love, and patience can transform the hearts of those you once thought were beyond reach.

Discovering common ground in the universal language of music was the first step towards dismantling prejudices.


My journey began with a simple act of sharing music, yet it opened doors to challenging the roots of hatred.


Each robe in my collection is a story of transformation, a testament to the power of conversation over conflict.


My dialogue with those in the depths of hate isn't about converting but about confronting fears with the undeniable truth of our shared humanity.


Each piece of Klan paraphernalia I've collected marks a step taken away from hate, towards a greater understanding - proving that even the deepest divides can be crossed.


The uniform of a Grand Dragon, once worn in hate, now rests as a relic of the past, a symbol of the bridges we can build from the bricks of our differences.


From the streets of a Patriots’ Day Parade to the stages alongside music legends, my life's been a testament to finding harmony in discord.


My journey wasn't charted through music alone but through the unexpected bridges built with those who once wished me harm.


That first unexpected toast from a Klan member in a country bar turned into a lifelong mission to challenge hatred with the question: 'How can you hate me, when you don’t even know me?'


Happy 4th of July. Let us work together to make this country better for all of us.

My collection of over 200 items of hate isn't a trophy case, but a testament to the possibility of change, one conversation at a time.


Being a Black musician who's befriended those lost in the shadows of white supremacy, I've learned that hate's melody can be rewritten with chords of compassion.


Conversations can disarm the most deeply entrenched beliefs. Holding a Klan robe handed over in trust proved to me the power of dialogue over division.


Meeting an Imperial wizard's robe face to face in my home was a stark reminder that the artifacts of hate can be transformed into milestones of understanding.


Hate is the byproduct of fear. If we can solve the root cause of that fear, we can change minds.


The most important thing I learned is that when two enemies are talking, they're not fighting.
