Dick Gregory was recently hospitalized because of an unknown condition. Now we learn that he has passed on at 84. His children released a statement on his instagram page. He was a very well known civil rights activist and comedian. Gregory made us all think about the way this country works. He was a true game changer and made us all think. He was an American hero and amazing mentor to many of us. He was a groundbreaker in comedy and a strong voice for social justice. Gregory marched with Martin Luther King Jr. He sat with Muhammad Ali and he also paved the way for many great comedians today. He passed away today, but he will never be forgotten. May you rest in power, Dick Gregory.
