Throughout his life Dick Gregory has been committed to improving the social conditions of his fellow man. Born and raised in extreme poverty in a fatherless home in the ghettos of St. Louis, Mr. Gregory has risen to the highest heights of international accomplishment. Despite resistance from the powers that be every step of the way, Mr. Gregory has persevered and never wavered in his commitment to justice and equality.
Mr. Gregory’s achievements as a renowned author, recording artist, television and film personality, leading nutritionist, and his commitment to non-violent social change are just a few of the reasons he will be honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award during our 2nd Annual Senior Awards Luncheon, to take place on Friday, October 18, 2013 at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Phoenix, AZ.
