From award-winning creators, Derrick Barnes, Frank Morrison, and Dr. Christian Gregory comes the true story of comedian and activist Dick Gregory's remarkable Food Run of 1976. 1 man. 1,011 hours. 3,200 miles. 7 million steps. What would you do? In April of 1976, Dick Gregory sets off on a Herculean and grueling two-and-a-half month run. His goal: to raise awareness about the epidemic of poverty and hunger in America.


Sleeping in motels and consuming nothing but fruit juices, vitamins and water, he runs from Los Angeles to New York City. And in each city, he stops to speak the truth about injustice. About the plight of the penniless. About the hopeless. Lyrical text, stunning art, and compelling backmatter come together to ask you--yes you--what would you do if you had a wild idea to stand up for something you believe in? Find out how far Dick Gregory's belief in feeding the hungry took him in this unforgettable story of an incredible journey that still reverberates today.
