The Legacy of a Civil Rights Icon's Vegetarian Cookbook

Dick Gregory was an activist, comedian, and trendsetter for Black vegans.

For Gregory, who became a vegetarian in 1965, food and diet became inextricably linked to civil rights. “The philosophy of nonviolence, which I learned from Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., during my involvement in the civil rights movement, was first responsible for my change in diet,” he writes in his book. “I felt the commandment ‘Thou shalt not kill’ applied to human beings not only in their dealings with each other—war, lynching, assassination, murder, and the like—but in their practice of killing animals for food or sport.”

He walked his talk .

For whatever reason we auto-edit (censor) Gregory's first name on this forum into ****. I was aware we edited swear words, but not this word in particular.

So I was able to find the article by going to Atlas Obscura and searching for "The Legacy of a Civil Rights Icon’s Vegetarian Cookbook".

Dick Van Dyke was an actor in the 1964 film, "Mary Poppins".

OK, it blotted out "D*ck", but not "Dyke".
