In 1972, during the Black Power Movement, iconoclast Dick Gregory
challenged one of the foundations of America itself - its history, which
had been written almost exclusively from the white male perspective. In
No More Lies, this true trailblazer gave voice to African Americans,
speaking their truth about the past and race relations in the United
States.
No More Lies offers this incomparable satirist's intellectual,
conspiratorial, and humorous spin on the facts. No subject is off limits
from his critical eye - Gregory examines numerous aspects of culture and
history, from the slave trade, police brutality, the wretchedness of
working-class life and labor unions to the 1968 Civil Rights Act, the
Founding Fathers, "happy slaves", and entrepreneurs.
Although this absorbing book is more than 40 years old, its provocative
truths continue to reverberate in our lives today. With No More Lies,
Gregory inspire a new generation to connect what is happening today with
what has happened in the past.
