Dr. Christian Claxton Gregory (Bio)
Christian Gregory is the eighth child of Dick and Lillian Gregory. Born in Chicago, he was raised on a 1,000 acre farm in Plymouth, Massachusetts, where the pastoral setting and lifelong lessons in wellness spurred his interest in physiology and the mind-body connection. After graduating from Morgan State University, he earned a Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Life University in Atlanta. Dr. Gregory practiced in Washington for twenty-five years, caring for DC natives, leading entertainment figures, and friends in the movement including Rosa Parks, Coretta Scott King, Betty Shabazz, Dorothy Height, Cicely Tyson, and Stevie Wonder. When Dick Gregory decided to resume an active speaking and entertainment schedule, he became his father’s manager.
Together they formed Dick Gregory Media, Inc. in 2015. Dr. Gregory’s unique combined experiences in patient care and entertainment management fostered the desire to develop the linkages between activism, communication, the performing arts, and physical well-being. To that end, he established Tower Hill Farm Health & Wellness and Tower Hill Farm Entertainment.
Since his passing in 2017, Christian Gregory has managed his father’s estate and intellectual property, and has successfully guided the development of other projects on his father’s life, including the stage play TURN ME LOOSE and the film THE ONE AND ONLY DICK GREGORY.

Would almost do anything to experience this. Want to hug all of you -humbly thank you and ask that God bless you and guide you through this life, to give you strength to continue carrying the torch that is your Fathers Legacy. I only got to meet him briefly once (kicking myself for being so hungry after a 5+ hour Health Expo in Dallas, when I should have kept following him around like a lost little puppy). I was able to atleast thank him and tell him “you’ve helped me to change my life.”
I’m so grateful for this man Dick Gregory, and that he still lives brightly and brilliantly through his Wife and Children.
