No More Lies: The Myth and Reality of American History

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 gives voice to African Americans, speaking to their realities, and histories. No subject is off limits from this critical - 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 1978 Civil Rights Act, the Founding Fathers, "happy slaves" and entrepreneur.
