FAIR: Bion Bartning & Daryl Davis discuss a "pro-human" approach to civil rights

FAIR (Foundation Against Intolerance & Racism) is a new organization founded by people from diverse backgrounds—its advisory board includes left-leaning thinkers like Steven Pinker to right-leaning economists like Glenn Loury. Many on the board are harder to define ideologically, including the guests on this episode of Watching America.

Bion Bartning is the executive director of FAIR. He is half Mexican and Yaqui, half Jewish. He pulled his children from a private school in New York because he rejected its new ideology that he says missed the point of the Civil Rights Movement.

Daryl Davis, an R&B/Blues musician, is on FAIR’s board of advisors. Davis is perhaps most famous for his interviews with Ku Klux Klan members—and his conversion of them. Davis, who is black, authored “Klan-Destine Relationships” and was the subject of the PBS documentary “Accidental Courtesy.”
