Comedian and civil rights activist Dick Gregory’s million-copy-plus bestselling memoir—now in trade paperback for the first time.
“Powerful and ugly and beautiful...a moving story of a man who deeply wants a world without malice and hate and is doing something about it.”—The New York Times
Fifty-five years ago, in 1964, an incredibly honest and revealing memoir by one of the America's best-loved comedians and activists, Dick Gregory, was published. With a shocking title and breathtaking writing, Dick Gregory defined a genre and changed the way race was discussed in America.
Telling stories that range from his hardscrabble childhood in St. Louis to his pioneering early days as a comedian to his indefatigable activism alongside Medgar Evers and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Gregory's memoir riveted readers in the sixties. In the years and decades to come, the stories and lessons became more relevant than ever, and the book attained the status of a classic. The book has sold over a million copies and become core text about race relations and civil rights, continuing to inspire readers everywhere with Dick Gregory's incredible story about triumphing over racism and poverty to become an American legend.

Inspirational
Truly and amazing book from a generation of fighters that lived mine. At the age of Forty-Four I wish I ingested this book years ago. With dignity, class, endurance, persistence, heart. I’m truly thankful to be black. Add it to the fact that my ancestors fought for a better world that they would never see.
Some of the experience was most important
This book was about a man a human that did not let his circumstances. Stop him from succeeding his contributions to the human race an example that you don’t have to have a lot of money to change the world of his negative environment, but change it to a positive culture that need to be.
Wow!!!
Great from beginning to end!!!
