Dick Gregory on Mark Twain

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.
