A Black man watching the TV news, sees a violent encounter between Ku Klux Klan members wielding Confederate flagpoles and another Black man aiming an ignited flamethrower in their direction, when the leader of the Klan pulls out a gun and fires it in the direction of the flamethrower. Some might say what this Black news watcher does next, goes against the flow. Watch for yourself and you decide as author, musician, and race-relations expert Daryl Davis shares his story.
