No More Lies

De: Dick Gregory

Narrado por: Prentice Onayemi

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 gave voice to African Americans, speaking their truth about the past and race relations in the United States.

No More Lies offers this incomparable satirist’s intellectual, conspiratorial, and humorous spin on the facts. No subject is off limits from his critical eye - 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 1968 Civil Rights Act, the Founding Fathers, “happy slaves”, and entrepreneurs.

Although this absorbing book is more than 40 years old, its provocative truths continue to reverberate in our lives today. With No More Lies, Gregory inspire a new generation to connect what is happening today with what has happened in the past.

This was a fantastic learning experience about American history and the final speech by Martin Luther King was breath taking

I really like the entire audio version of this book I would highly recommend this book for your listening enjoyment

Incredibly good

A brilliant thorough history and political point of view! My heart was broken and inspired.

My Hertiages

I learned more about my heritage which is Indian and black.. I will never understand how white people can be so cruel, or how they could want to own another human being, and treat them like they are not human. I am proud to be black and part Indian. My Grandmother was Indian which she never really talked about with me or my brother. I did not find out about her being Indian until she showed me her pictures of when she was on the reservation. God created everyone , and God wants as to love everyone. I am glad to know that all white people are not bad. That gives me some hope for the human race.

Could have been written in 2024

I believe that this is one of the most important reads of our time. It should be mandatory for all American students from middle school to college and beyond.

Maybe the most underrated author in American history.

As important today as it was when it was written. Incredible performance also. Kudos, Prentice!

This book is a treasure.

Our dear brother Gregory is amongst the greatest master teachers we have ever had. Listening to this book it felt like he was speaking directly to me. I thoroughly enjoyed the great knowledge given to me from this book just as many others he has written. Thank you brother Gregory, you are still with us. We love you.

Enlightening

I learned so much listening to this book. It provided me with insights that are allowing me to interpret these present turbulent times.

Eye Opening

This book is a true eye opening. I learned a lot about our American history. He broke down the truth and the lie about our American history. I highly recommend this book

Entangling & Entralling

This is 3rd audio book from D.G. and I enjoyed every minute of it. The way he breaks up the fallacies woven within the very fabric of what this country preaches really makes one wonder just how many rights they can take away. *Abortion* 10/10; would recommend

No more lies

Excellent view of America through the ones of the black man eyes. Covering of the truth about America and how it treats it white children eye-opening educational. I am 62 years old and I'm a black man and I thought I knew a lot the black history in American history. This book has to my eyes even more. I enjoyed it and I will tell my friends black and white it's a must read.
