Civil Rights Activist Dick Gregory has Been Hospitalized !! BHR Wishing Our Deepest Prayers |

While he was starting to feel better, his health took a downward turn and he returned on Saturday (Aug. 12). Speaking delicately, Christian asked for prayers for his father.
“I’ve watched my father for a lifetime heal the world. Today he is in need of your healing. We are truly grateful for the phenomenal care he has been receiving.
My family and I remain thankful for all of the prayers, positive thoughts, messages and good energy.” A number of his upcoming performances were canceled, including a show with Paul Mooney in Atlanta. Celebs and supporters took to social media to send prayers to Mr. Gregory
