Dick Gregory: AD was Goodness. AD was mercy.Thank God he was there for Martin

"I never bought into the thing about how he died in the swimming pool. He was a force...I knew his kindness, I knew his politeness. I knew his niceness..He was always there not just for King but for the movement, no envy....Goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life...AD was Goodness. AD was mercy" Dick Gregory
