The Making of a
Legacy

Dick Gregory & Dr. Christian Gregory
"Born into a legacy of courage, Dr. Christian Gregory has spent his life not merely inheriting his father's flame — but amplifying it for a new generation."
Dr. Christian Claxton Gregory is a distinguished chiropractor, author, producer, entrepreneur, and thought leader who proudly carries forward the powerful legacy of his father — the legendary comedian, activist, and wellness pioneer Dick Gregory.
Born in Chicago in 1970 as the eighth child of Dick and Lillian Gregory, Dr. Gregory was raised on a sprawling farm in Plymouth, Massachusetts. There, amid a family lifestyle centered on periodic fasting, meditation, and holistic living, he developed a profound fascination with science, human physiology, and the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit.
He earned a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from Morgan State University and a Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Life University. For over 25 years, Dr. Gregory maintained a thriving practice in Washington, DC, where he provided care to a remarkable array of influential figures — including civil rights icons Rosa Parks, Coretta Scott King, Betty Shabazz, and Dorothy Height; acclaimed entertainers Cicely Tyson and Stevie Wonder; and countless community leaders and everyday residents.
Dr. Gregory's multifaceted career bridges activism, health, entertainment, and innovation. He served as his father's business manager and they co-founded Dick Gregory Media, Inc. in 2015 to preserve and amplify Dick Gregory's voice through media, arts, and wellness initiatives. Following his father's passing in 2017, Dr. Gregory took the helm as estate manager, guiding acclaimed projects that celebrate his father's enduring impact.
These include the critically acclaimed Broadway-bound play Turn Me Loose, the docu-series Right to Offend: The Black Comedy Revolution, and the Emmy-nominated documentary The One and Only Dick Gregory — for which he received an Executive Producer Emmy nomination.
