Dick Gregory (1932-2017) was a pioneering comedian and civil rights activist, whose sharp, socially conscious humor broke racial barriers in the 1960s. Beyond comedy, he became a prominent voice for racial equality, advocating for numerous causes including anti-war efforts and public health awareness.
