Part 1 of 2: In today’s episode, Matthew speaks with Daryl Davis. He is a musician and activist that works to end racism one person at a time. His tactics are unique but effective. Daryl is an African American man that befriends members of the KKK and white supremacy groups to diplomatically show them the err of their ways. Many of these individuals leave their respective organizations after spending time with Daryl and engaging in a dialogue about their ideologies. This is a fascinating conversation that covers many topics including music, police reform, and race relations in the US.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
