"This is the story of Dick Gregory, welfare case, star athlete, hit comedian, front-line participant in the battle for Civil Rights. He grew up in St. Louis, so poor that "home was a place to be only when all other places were closed." In high school and college he became a record-breaking track star. Early in his life he had learned to fight back with jokes rather than with his fists, and when a chance came to work as an entertainer, he took it." (Publisher)
