As an author, Daryl's nonfiction book, Klan-Destine Relationships, provides a first-person account of an African American man’s journey into the mindset of the Ku Klux Klan.

The book outlines Daryl’s efforts to bridge stark racial divides through friendship and engagement. It also served as inspiration for a new film documentary released in 2016 called Accidental Courtesy. Today, Daryl travels the country giving inspiring lectures based on his experiences.
