Rest in peace and in power.
A pioneering social activist and comedian growing up the the segregated Deep South, Dick Gregory broke down racial barriers in the 1960s using humour and satire to spread messages of social justice.
He started winning talent contests for his comedy, continuing when he joined in the Army. Once discharged, he struggled to break into the standup circuit in Chicago, working odd jobs as a postal clerk and car washer to survive. His breakthrough came in 1961, when he was asked to fill in for another comedian at Chicago’s Playboy Club. His audience, mostly white Southern businessmen, heckled him with racist gibes, but he stuck it out for hours and left them howling.
That job was supposed to be a one-night gig, but lasted two months – and landed him a profile in Time magazine and a spot on The Tonight Show.

“Where else in the world but America,” he joked, “could I have lived in the worst neighborhoods, attended the worst schools, rode in the back of the bus, and get paid $5,000 a week just for talking about it?” #dickgregory #divinesoul ?KayX
