If you’re perchance walking along Hollywood Blvd. gazing along the various names on The Hollywood Walk of Fame, wondering who is exactly who and why are they there, take note of the Walk of Fame’s newest member, comedian Dick Gregory.  

In a time of racial tension and freedom of expression being questioned, Gregory, his comedy that bridged black and white audiences in the 60s, his activism in The Civil Rights Movement, and more deserve a moment of your time. 

The ceremony with the star will take place on Feb. 2nd.
