The Life and Legacy of Dick Gregory

PLEASE NOTE: This week’s Thursday Night is taking place on a Wednesday.

Richard Claxton Gregory was an American comedian, an actor, a writer, an activist, a social critic, and a St. Louisan. Join us in conversation with his brother and son Ron Gregory and Yohance Maqubela to discuss the lasting impact this prominent Sumner High school alumni had on St. Louis and the United States as a whole.
