  • Summary

  • Fusing comedy and activism, Dick Gregory was one of the most forcefully political comics of his generation. Gregory repeatedly broke the color barrier, becoming the first Black comedian to sit on the couch of Jack Paar’s The Tonight Show. As his star rose, Gregory became even more dedicated to his activism, marching for civil rights with Martin Luther King, Jr., protesting the Vietnam War, and even running for President of the United States. An irrepressible voice for justice with cool intellectual wit, Gregory remains a sterling example of the political power of laughter.
