Dick Gregory Dick GregoryDick Gregory brought a consciousness, an awareness to the issues of racism, civil rights, health and community well­ being, and with a sense of humor that amused but also informed. Jesse Jackson put it so clearly when he stated "Dick Gregory taught us to fight, how to love, and how to laugh". The truth is, Dick Gregory was an ever evolving, ever learning man. The development of the Health Enterprise in 1984 by Dick Gregory was his vision for a healthier African­ American community. As we celebrate Dick Gregory for satire, humor, civil rights and social justice activities, his health advocates and campaign did much good in the US, the Caribbean and Africa.
