'anything they tell us, we BUY' - Dick Gregory Truth is never told better than Brother Gregory.

Today In History Dick Gregory an African American comedian, civil rights leader and vegetarian activist, was born in St. Louis, MO on this date October 12, 1932. Gregory no-holds-barred brand of comedy in the 1960s attacked racial prejudice, bigotry and racism in the United States. By addressing his hard-hitting satire to white audiences, he gave a comedic voice to the rising civil rights movement. He generated particular attention for his many hunger fasts. At this time he became a vegetarian, a marathon runner, and an expert on nutrition. He soon began a successful business venture with his nutritional product, the “Bahamian Diet,” around which he built Dick Gregory Health Enterprises, Inc. Through his company, he targeted the lower life expectancy of Black Americans, which he attributed to poor nutrition, drugs and alcohol abuse. Gregory wrote many books, including Nigger: An Autobiography (1964) and No More Lies: The Myth and the Reality of American History (1971). He made a brief return to the comedy circuit in the mid-1990s. The One and Only Dick Gregory, a documentary about his life and career, appeared in 2021.

Happy Birthday Lillian Gregory— For Dick Gregory, Thanksgiving was on November 24th, Lillian’s Birthday. His planning typically began a week out as he carefully cultivated dozens of birthday cards. Being visual, he never read the inside. His selections were made solely by the images on the card’s cover.  Like a jigsaw puzzle, my mother could always piece the cards together and understand the message in a way only a true soulmate could.  There were multiple floral arrangements, remembering his wife’s affinity for shades of purple and lavender while also remembering her disdain for red roses. After an amazing birthday, they'd rest up and prepare to protest with their Native American sisters and brothers treating Thanksgiving as a national day of mourning.  Yin and Yang, Life's precious balances 🙏🏿 Wishing our Gregory family matriarch a healthy and happy birthday 🎂 ❤️ Love you Mom — @drchristiangregory #lilliangregory #dickgregory Repost: @therealdickgregory https://www.instagram.com/p/CH-SWqVAwMA/?igshid=17xymos7ucmcc
