From Pacifica Radio Archives, recordings of Dick Gregory, honoring the life of the comedian and civil rights activist who broke barriers in the 1960s and became one of the first African-Americans to perform at white clubs. Gregory used satire and cool humor as a force for civil rights in the 1960s and devoted his life to speaking out on social justice and health. He became a cross-over entertainer who reached both black and white audiences and, with humor, was able to generate deeper public understanding for the nation's shameful racial history. Gregory died on August 19, 2017. He was 84. Produced by Mark Torres.
