Summary

Description
English: Original description: Daryl Davis is an African American virtuoso blues pianist, author, actor and lecturer. He is on a mission. Throughout the last 30 years he has befriended members of the KKK and persuaded them to leave their racist beliefs and organizations. Daryl does it through dialogue and music. The U.S. Embassy in Tel Aviv brought Daryl to Israel to promote conversation between diverse parts of multi-cultural Israeli society through music and through his personal example. The program was dedicated to the memory of Daniel Pearl, the US journalist and musician that was murdered by terrorists in Pakistan. His legacy- “Harmony for Humanity”- is celebrated through annual musical events across the globe. In course of four intensive days in Israel Daryl shared his unbelievable story and performed for Jewish and Arab high school and college students, secular and religious audiences of all ages in Jerusalem, Taibeh, Beer Sheva, Hura and Kfar Batya. He inspired hundreds of people from all sectors to seek solutions through an honest and intelligent dialogue. The universal language of music served as the perfect platform to start the conversation, which included collaborations with local musicians, such as the “Ground Heights” band and the Israeli blues man Itay Pearl. Daryl message is clear: "When two enemies are talking, they are not fighting… It’s when the talking ceases, that the ground becomes fertile for violence. Keep the conversation going.”
