Black Man & Former White Supremacist Join for ‘No Place for Hate’ on November 28

| November 16, 2017

CLARION, Pa. – As part of Clarion University 2017-18 Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration, Daryl Davis and Arno Michaelis will present “No Place for Hate: A Conversation in Black and White” on November 28 in the multi-purpose room of Gemmell Student Complex.

The presentation begins at 7:00 p.m.

It is free and open to the public.

Davis and Michaelis once stood worlds apart: one perpetrated violence, while the other asked, “How can you hate me when you don’t even know me?”

Michaelis, a founding member of the largest worldwide white supremacist, neo-Nazi skinhead organization, and lead singer of Centurion, a favorite hate-metal band among racists, was once filled with rage. His book, “My Life After Hate,” details how the forgiveness that was offered to him by people he once detested helped him turn his life around.

While Michaelis was inciting violence and calling for racial holy war, Davis, a black man, was on a mission to eradicate hate and bigotry. He accomplished something no black man had achieved before him – attending Ku Klux Klan rallies and interviewing KKK members for his book, “Klan-Destine Relationships.”

Today, Michaelis and Davis stand on the stage as brothers, embracing and supporting each other’s passion to extinguish hate, bigotry, and violence. Their electrifying presentations take the audience inside the mind of someone who wants to hurt others for having a different skin color.

Sponsors are Clarion’s Martin Luther King Jr. Committee, University Activities Board, Minority Student Services and Phi Kappa Phi.
