Dick Gregory and I had seen the same play a few years ago. It was a riveting one written and developed and starring the pastor of a rather progressive Black church in Forestville, Maryland. Between the two of us we'd probably seen the play seven times. 

It isn't a surprise to see Dick Gregory walking around Washington DC. This time it was Lafayette Park across the street from the White House we recognized each other and fell into a lengthy conversation. The activist and I shared some personal insights and things with each other, but I was listening more than talking. It is what you do in an elder's presence.

Of the things Dick Gregory mentioned was the number and names of newspapers he read every single day cover to cover. In fact it was late afternoon, and in his left hand were newspapers, a writing pad, and a book. He was casual in a suit jacket and his hands animated making his talking points about why it is important to read at this level, and what he had uncovered recently. The analysis and the mathematical abilities employed are invaluable. It might seem to many I, or another are over-dramatizing the importance of reading and analyzing, but the practice separates sheep (the weak) from the strong. It is and continues to be a determining facet of a free mind. Writing is a natural consequence of learned behavior and was integral to the patriarchs of the Bible. Why isn't it as important to latter day Christians, or the secular world in these United States? - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 11.19.13
