ACTIVIST AND COMEDIAN **** GREGORY SPEAKS ON FERGUSON, MISSOURI UNREST (1963 hits)


MISSOURI--Former St. Louisan and civil rights activist **** Gregory met with members of the crowd who gathered near the burned-down QuikTrip on West Florissant Avenue.

The message in the wake of this week's unrest is simple, he said.

"Do you have children?" Gregory asked a reporter. "Have you heard them cry? You wouldn't go and say 'shut up' would you? Well, that's what they tell black folk."

Gregory, who said he left St. Louis in the early 1950s to attend college, also expressed skepticism about the timing of today's release of security footage from a liquor store that appeared to show Michael Brown involved in a strong arm robbery.

"How come they are just telling us that now?" Gregory said. "And they've got film. Hollywood can make a film of this whole incident and find people who look like the mayor and the police chief."

Accompanying Gregory in Ferguson was Charles Steele Jr., president and CEO of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference.

Gregory intimated that the world is watching — and wondering.

"Our allies are saying, 'What are you all doing over there?'"

Mr. Brown,

Even if the police department are Klan’s members what is Black America’s permanent solution if it is not sovereignty in a country of our own?

Your so-called "permanent solution" will never happen Harry. Nobody believes it, not even you. The truth is Harry, you are doing everything you can to prevent any solution.

Steve,

I have no fight with you. My fight is with my own Black American people and the extreme ignorance that White Americans are responsible for.

Your fight to prevent our permanent solution from happening is with God and not with me, Black Americans first genuine prophet.

I don’t believe White Americans are invincible and neither did Moses believe that Pharaoh was invincible.
