Richard Claxton Gregory
/ Dick Gregory 1932-2017
pioneering black
satirist
who transformed
cool humor into a barbed force
for
civil rights in the 1960s,
then veered from his craft
for a life devoted
to
protest and fasting
in the name
of assorted social causes,
health regimens
and
conspiracy theories
