    ADVENTURES IN LIFELONG LEARNING University of Wisconsin - Parkside 900 Wood Road, Box 2000, Kenosha WI 53141-2000 262 595-2793 Dick Gregory & The Civil Rights Movement Friday, February 24, 2017 Tallent Hall, Room 182 10 AM to 12 noon As the nation reflects on African American history during the month of February, this course will offer a unique examination of a figure who played an underappreciated role in the black freedom struggle and other social justice movements that gathered momentum in the second half of the twentieth century. Dick Gregory was the Jackie Robinson of stand up comedy in the early 1960s, and he put his fame, wealth, and public persona at the service of the civil rights movement, partnering with all of the prominent leaders and organizations, and emerging as a leader in his own right by the end of the decade. Professor Edward Schmitt will offer a portrait of this compelling figure, and share aspects of his biographical research on Gregory, including excerpts from interviews he conducted with the comedian/activist this past fall. Edward Schmitt is an Associate Professor of History at UW-Parkside, where he has taught since 2002. He teaches courses on recent U.S. history, African American history, and several other topics. His first book, President of the Other America: Robert Kennedy and the Politics of Poverty, was published in 2010, and he is currently working on a biography of Dick Gregory.

  • Dick Gregory, an Interview
    I il I E I grEI0ry t :en lntervlew s/27/66 Berkeley: Academic Publtshing, Inc. On Tuesday, September Z'l , 1966, Robert Mundy (Editor of Acadernic Publishing), Marilyn Mundy, Richard Saundere, and Carol Saunders, obtained the following interview with the noted comedian and civil rights leader, Dick Gregory. Q: At your last show, you started talking about a reporter who had asked you what you felt about the use of the word "Black Power. " I @lwant to askthat question. l4rhat I want to ask is, whatdo youthink about the reaction to the use of the word 'rBlack Power?rl A: I think it's a normal reaction in a country where l0% of the population have no business with Black Power and the only reason we have Black Power is because of the racist segre- gationist pattern in the country that keeps a segrnent of the people trapped in one area - which has created Black Power. You donttworryabout a gorilla jumping on you when you walk down the streetbecause you know that humans outnumber go- rillas, butwhen Itake my daughtertothe zoo, I geta sneaking suspicion that if Irm ever going to be jumpedonbygorillas, itts gonna happen here, because yourre dealing with animal power, It's very interesting how this power came about. Wetve had Black Power for years, and now the ecream for Black Power had gone out, which is another way of saying werre going to channelthis power into constructive directions instead of destructive directions. To me itts like standing in a valleylooking up ata mountainseeing the snow, andknowing that spring is going to come around and the snow,s going to melt, and is going to corne rushing down the mountain-side- and if therets not the right fa ci liti e s; like hydro-electric dams, thatare builtandirrigation systems, thatwaterrs going to sweep into town and justwipe everything away.

  • Dick Gregory
    In Memoriam: Dick Gregory Richard Claxton Gregory [Dick Gregory] (1932-2017) was an African-American comedian, civil rights activist, social critic, writer, entrepreneur, conspiracy theorist, and occasional actor. During the turbulent 1960s, he became a pioneer in stand-up comedy for his "no-holds-barred" sets, in which he mocked bigotry and racism. He performed primarily to Black audiences at segregated clubs until 1961, when he became the first Black comedian to successfully cross over to White audiences, appearing on television and putting out comedy record albums. He was at the forefront of political activism in the 1960s, when he protested the Vietnam War and racial injustice. His participation in the Civil Rights movement of the 1960s is well documented, as are his personal relationships with such luminaries as Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, Muhammad Ali, President John F. Kennedy, and Robert Kennedy, as well as legions of politicians, performers, and activists. He was arrested multiple times and went on many hunger strikes. An advocate of nonviolence, Gregory uses fasting, prayer, and other peaceful means to make his point. He is acclaimed for his mobilizations for social change, his Bahamian diet, his comedy career, and his anti-drug activities. Gregory and his wife, Lillian Smith, have been married for 50 years and are the parents of 10 children. He is author of Defining Moments in Black History: Reading Between the Lies (2017), a collection of thoughtful, provocative essays, the author charts the complex and often obscured history of the African American experience, and in an unapologetically candid voice, he moves from African ancestry and surviving the Middle Passage to the creation of the Jheri Curl, the enjoyment of bacon and everything pig, the headline-making shootings of Black men, and the Black Lives Matter movement; and retrospectively: From the Back of the Bus (1962); Nigger: An Autobiography [written with Robert Lipsyte and E.P.
