I

went to Dick Gregory's lecture when he came to WKU.

I couldn't find anyone to go with me so I went alone :-).

The two things I remember about his lecture:

He told a story about sitting at the counter of a diner in the deep south during the civil rights movement. He was delivered his order of fried chicken when a man got up, came over to him and told him he was going to do to Mr. Gregory whatever he did to his chicken. Everybody's watchin. Know what he does? He bends over and kisses his fried chicken :-). The guy went and sat down as people laughed.

He talked about ganja for a second. This is like 85? 86? He said, "All of you parents that are so against your children somking pot? Get up in the morning and go do without your coffee for a while."
