Oh no...Baba Dick Gregory.
This is not news I wanted to wake up to.
I did have the privilege of meeting him by happenstance and speaking with him during my second year of college when I was working retail. We spoke about his book, "N*gger" - which I had read in 7th grade (Dad had a copy). Got his autograph that day and I still have it.
I will miss his wise and pointed analyses on current events and on our Black people.
Rest, Brother.
Thank you for your wisdom, your humor and your unabashed LOVE for OUR PEOPLE.
