STILL so relevant to the current election--Dick Gregory for President 2016

[Sheehan · Rating 4 out of 5]

Until I read this book, I had no idea Dick Gregory had run for president! Well, history is not kind to write-in candidates I'm afraid...

Gregory had a good run of trade paperbacks about his life, politics and apparently this presidential run. He brings his acerbic wit and wry observations of contemporary politics of his time.

The book is an interesting historical record, that piqued a personal interest in electoral politics and community organizing I was just beginning to understand at the time.
