Will Fly | Obit: comic/activist Dick Gregory (1932-2017) (16) | RE: Obit: Dick Gregory | 20 Aug 17 |
RIP. He's not often mentioned these days in the history of satire, but was very influential in the 1960s - sharp, to the point, and one of the first black satirical comedians. I always remember a clip of him talking in a BBC2 film called "Blues Night", where he was talking wittily and eloquently about black life and its trials in Chicago. A great man. |
