Our legends in entertainment and humanity keep leaving us. Yesterday comic genius and Civil Rights Activist Dick Gregory died at the age of 84 in Washington, DC. Gregory, was a pioneer in black satire who took a cool brand of humor into being a strong force on the civil rights front for many years which at times, he put his health on the line.

Mr. Gregory’s son, Christian Gregory, who announced his death on social media, said more details would be released in the coming days. Mr. Gregory had been admitted to a hospital on Aug. 12, his son said in an earlier Facebook post.

NewzBreaker extends our deepest condolences to the Gregory Family in their time of grief.
