Gregory at New Paltz echoes polemics with call for reform
Dick Gregory spoke at State University College at New Paltz urging sweeping reforms of a “rotten, filthy, stinking country.” He criticized capitalism, urged students to question parents, mocked coverage of Chicago riots, and read a Declaration of Independence passage urging abolition of a corrupt government. He urged building trust across races and handed out food crusade cards, drawing chaotic applause.
