“Gregory is the author of Nigger, published in 1963 as his first autobiography. The book was a best seller and has since sold more than seven million copies.”

Gregory met his wife Lillian Smith at an African-American club; they married in 1959. They have ten children, not including one who died at birth.
He has been criticized for being an absent father. In a 2000 interview with The Boston Globe, Gregory was quoted as saying, “People ask me about being a father and not being there. I say, `Jack the Ripper had a father. Hitler had a father. Don’t talk to me about family.’”

DICK GREGORY has lost his 40-acre farm in Plymouth, Mass., in a foreclosure, although he said he, his wife and their 10 children hoped to continue living there. Mr. Gregory said he hoped to work out a deal with Citizens Trust Bank of Georgia, which claimed Town Hill Farm after he defaulted on a $165,942 mortgage.
Mr. Gregory told The Patriot Ledger of Quincy, Mass., that he was unable to make payments because of his pending lawsuit against his two partners in their Slim-Safe Bahamian Diet business.

I guess the system didn’t want her to get off relief, the way it kept sending social workers around to be sure Momma wasn’t trying to make things better.”
