Gregory recently spoke to a crowd gathered in Washington, DC on March 24, 2012, for the “No Justice No Peace” rally for Trayvon Martin, the unarmed Florida teen shot by an over zealous neighborhood watchman.
The message Dick Gregory spoke while rocking a hoodie for the first time in his 80 years, was in depth but simple nonetheless…
“Stop being emotional and start demanding answers!”
Gregory posed tough questions to the crowd about Martin’s case, such as “why wasn’t the footage from the convenience store ever requested?” or ‘Who are all these random witnesses coming forward?’ ‘How the hell was Trayvon Martin murdered less than 70 feed from his home?’ and most importantly, “Why hasn’t Trayvon’s killer – George Zimmerman - been brought to justice?”
Watch the video below…
How do you feel about Dick Gregory’s comments?

Ask questions!!!!!!!
Yeah. Why didn’t they request the store surveillance? Was he murdered somewhere else and placed feet away from his home? Dick Gregory’s statements got me wondering now.
This is a really good post… Must admit that you are amongst the best bloggers I have read… Thanks………..?
Maybe in video it showed Zimmerman following Trayvon even at the store. I’m attending a rally this Friday a lot of people are Talking about the situation but not Doing anything.
Mr. Dick Gregory always bring the truth!
I respect D. Gregory, but the real question is how you gon be murdered 70 feet from your daddy girlfriend house and nobody in your family knew you were dead?? That boy’s body lay in the morgue 3 days before it was identified by his mother. Conspiracy Theories only distract you from your own knowledge of the truth. Has anybody read the police report?? So why make make Zimmerman’s past relevant but not Trayvons?? The case in and of itself is truly said. #justice
Since he mentioned the video surveillance I’m wondering if the reason it’s not in evidence is that maybe they already viewed it and noticed George Zimmerman followed him there too
THERE NEEDS TO BE ANSWERS!!!! That’s all the family is asking for and I pray they get it.I have no idea why people think its OK to shoot someone over color & a hoodie.Please America know not all white people are so ignorant.
Dick Gregory is correct. What I’ve been saying for a hot minute!!
U gta love n respect Mr.Gregory!!!
I love Dick Gregory
We he speak….I LISTEN! Love you Mr.Gregory
Yes! This case sickens me. Just when you think we’ve mad LITTLE progress, we are always painfully reminded that we haven’t. I pray for the family of Trayvon. May the brother rest in peace.
Thanks for posting this! I am so glad Dick Gregory is involved. He has don so much to bring awareness to injustice all over the world… He always challenges his listeners to THINK for themselves. Again thanks because you have done a great thing by posting this…
Oh yes and to prove his point we KNOW for a fact Trayvon had his cell phone when he went to the store because it has been verified he was on the phone with his girlfriend when Zimmerman was following him. How did he lay in the morgue unidentified for 3 days?!
Something is really wrong with this story.They no this is not the trutth.Whats done in the dark will come out in light.God got the last say so.That was his child.
I have a few questions if someone would please clear this up for me. Where was Trayvon’s dad when the shots were fired and neighbors were calling 911? Did he inquire about the gun shots the night of since it was only a few feet away from where his girlfriend live? Did he come out to see what the commotion was about the night of? Why did Trayvon lay in a morgue for 3 days, did his parents not wonder where he was for 3 days of not hearing from him? Was there any record of his parents trying to call his cell after missing for three days? I’m by no means justifying what Zimmerman did, there is a right way of doing things. I feel that Zimmerman instigated, provoked and stalked Trayvon. You can’t get mad and kill someone because you were asked "why are you following me", then you being tough, end up getting beat up so THEN you claim self defense b/c he got the best of you so you shoot him. Zimmerman in my heart is guilty on some many levels. To me, not some much about race as it is about being someone’s child, that’s right a child, that you wanted to pick on and lie your way out of the situation since you are not getting the heroic reaction that you thought you would. If this had not been nationwide you would be moving on to the next victim. Thank God for Jesus and people being saved for your sake Zimmerman.
@falconpride As stated in the video, his dad was calling the police over the 3 day period to report him as missing. He actually called hte next morning. He was out that night and got in late. When he woke up, Trayvon was not there. That’s when he made his first call.
I love this man.
@ theone, thank you!!
Martin did not lay in the morgue unidentified. Here is Trayvon’s father on TV, at the shooting scene, talking to reporters the day after Trayvon died saying it was his son who got shot.
