I’m sad that Dick Gregory is gone and want to honor him in this Forum for having said one of the best things anyone has ever said about Mark Twain:

Twain, Gregory wrote,   "was so far ahead of his time that he shouldn’t even be talked about on the same day as other people….”   (Callus on My Soul: A Memoir, 2001, p. 256)

I LOVE THAT.  Rest in Peace, Dick Gregory.
