About this item

In 1972, during the Black Power Movement, iconoclast Dick Gregory challenged one of the foundations of America itself - its history, which had been written almost exclusively from the white male perspective. In No More Lies, this true trailblazer gave voice to African Americans, speaking their truth about the past and race relations in the United States.

No More Lies offers this incomparable satirist’s intellectual, conspiratorial, and humorous spin on the facts. No subject is off limits from his critical eye - Gregory examines numerous aspects of culture and history, from the slave trade, police brutality, the wretchedness of working-class life and labor unions to the 1968 Civil Rights Act, the Founding Fathers, “happy slaves”, and entrepreneurs.

Although this absorbing book is more than 40 years old, its provocative truths continue to reverberate in our lives today. With No More Lies, Gregory inspire a new generation to connect what is happening today with what has happened in the past.

    Dick Gregory meticulously and methodically covers history in a direct and verifiable manner. It's up to you to determine the impact of the history, but the facts are undeniable.

    Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2013
    This book earned the highest rating because I am an avid reader and I will read it again. It is everything you want a book to be: informative, thought provoking, and you feel there is something there that you continue to seek, though you just can't put your fingers on it! However, I know that you will find it!

    Try this book & keep an open mind. Loved it!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Finally, The Truth!!
    Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2016
    A perfect example of a book that American schools don't want you to read because it exposes so much that would contradict and have you question everything you've been taught, which is Fantastic! A must read!
