Dick Gregory at A & T
Negro comedian Dick Gregory
is scheduled to appear February
13th at 8:00 p.m. in Moore Gym
on the campus of A&T State
University. Gregory, a lifetime
advocate of peace, campaigned
for President in 1968.
Gregory's visit to A&T
follows the visit of black power
militant Stokely Carmichael to
the campus in December of
1968. Although Carmichael's
visit proved nonviolent, it
touched off a widespread
controversy on the feasibility of
a speaker ban. The Greensboro
City Council considered one
ban, but it failed to receive the
votes necessary for passage. The
U.S. Supreme Court declared
North Carolina's Speaker Ban
unconstitutional several years
