Dick Gregory/Shame

Abstract: A 3 page essay that examines the chapter entitled "Shame" from political activist Dick Gregory's autobiography. This chapter dramatically illustrates the insensitivity that often characterizes the treatment of adults toward children. In Gregory's case, the shame he felt at age seven propelled him to achieve great things in later life. But, the message of the story is that it also caused him to forever empathize with people who are on the low end of society's ladder, who have nothing except their self respect. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
