From the Back of the Bus
by Dick Gregory
Avon, Copyright 1962
(no additional printing history)
Dick Gregory is a comedian, social satirist, Negro, pioneer. In little more than a year he has climbed from $10 a day car washer to $5000 a week headlinerdoing what some said he shouldn't do, most said he couldn't do, but what Gregory knows he must do -- tell the truth about segregation so that it brings smiles instead of hurt, and insight, even to the insensitive. His method: "Once I get them laughing, I can say anything."
