Author to provide Ku Klux Klan perspective today
Daryl Davis, author of the book “Klan-Destine Relationships: A Black Man’s Odyssey in the Ku Klux Klan,” will be speaking on the Pueblo campus from noon to 2 pm today in the Fortino Ballroom. Davis’ presentation is part of Black History Month that PCC is celebration in February. In an effort to explore the issue of racism, Davis traveled the dark road of the Ku Klux Klan. Without revealing his race, he arranged meetings and even attended the organization's rallies. The result was his book. Davis is a native of Chicago and was raised in Europe and Africa. After earning a Bachelor of Music from Howard University, he enjoyed a career as a musician and vocalist. This event is free and open to everyone, including members of the community. It is sponsored by PCC’s Diversity Activities Committee and Student Activities Board.
