I got my hands on his book, "Dick Gregory's Natural Diet for Folks Who Eat: Cookin' with Mother Nature" back in 1997 my friends and I attempted veganism in college but we didn't stay. I returned to vegetarian and later vegan in 2000 and I've been practicing the diet ever since. We also had a chance to see him speak at Grambling University. He's funny, real, and thought-provoking.
