2016 OSI-Baltimore Community Fellow J.C. Faulk appears in the new documentary airing on PBS, “Accidental Courtesy.” The film follows Daryl Davis, an African-American who has spent the past 25 years seeking out members of the Ku Klux Klan in an effort to gain understanding.
Davis’s journey takes him to Baltimore, where he sits down with Faulk, whose OSI fellowship “An End to Ignorance” expands on his Circle of Voices workshops facilitating open discussions about race and racism in Baltimore, along with local activists Kwame Rose and Tariq Touré. The discussion gets heated as the men disagree about the best ways to fight racism—by engaging in conversations with those Klan members, as Davis does, or, like the three Baltimore activists, fighting it head-on in the streets.
