Shame Dick Gregory

Shame,shame, shame on you. everybody unfortunatly does not have the same lifestyle as others some have moms, dads, and siblings, that was not the case for Richard Gregory. Of most importance he had no dad,but he had love in his heart for Helene Tucker. That seemed to get him through life more than food itself. Each day in school he lived to see only her. He made a way to survive poverty because of her. Washing clothes from a pot was absolutely no pain for him,because he wanted to keep clean for his Helene. Richard never knew anyone cared about him until. The teacher asked every one how much their father would give to the Community Chest. A panic button went off in Richard, because he had no father. He made up a father,using the money he made from selling papers and shinning shoe. Just to keep from being shame in class. All of his effort was useless because he didn't know that the money was being raised for him. You have no father!!! those words stormed at him faster and harder than a bullet.
