    Comedian Dick Gregory always told it like it is. Our laughter was fuel to fight for justice in an unjust world. RIP 1932-2017pic.twitter.com/wpbdEkvny1

        There are some that came to earth to witness the truth and share it with those that are blindly living a pure lie. RIP Mr Gregory.

        Very very sad; I remember him from as far back as the 60's- he was always evolving and full of life. So long, Mr. Gregory...

        Very few entertainers changed our thinking. Dick Gregory did and the world is a better place because he was in it.
