“Knew and Knew Not” — some words about Dick Gregory’s Bible Tales from a thing I wrote in the Before Time, just barely pre-Covid.
Quoted here is the sadly out-of-print book Dick Gregory’s Bible Tales with Commentary. James R. McGraw, editor. NY: Stein and Day, 1974. I am so fond of this book that I am trying to figure out how to get it reprinted.
And for more context, “CRD-1,” mentioned in this document, is the group for whom this Re-Reading Exodus was written, “Cross River Dialogue,” was a small group of white Jews and Black non-Jews, living and working east and west of the Anacostia River in Washington DC. We learned a lot from one another and made lasting friendships but no longer meet or otherwise function as a group.
Also, for clarity, the questions for thought closing this section and the section quoted below, were part of a Counting the Omer project, developed through CRD-1, in 2020.
