It's from the Boston College student newspaper. You may not be aware of this, but folks in Boston took running pretty seriously in 1976. Here their writeup:
THE VIEW FROM HERE . . . .
Dick Gregory is off and running. And one of the more novel, yet promising,
hunger projects of Jesuit Social Ministries is running with him. He left Los Angeles
on April 21, starting his spinejarring 3500-mile Bicentennial Run Against Hunger. He
must average nearly 50 miles a day, six days week, in order to arrive in New York
City on July 4, as scheduled. On the next few pages of Sisyphus you will find further
information about the run, including the planned route.
A key to the City of Los Angeles from the mayor, and proclamation of Arizona Run
Against Hunger Day by the governor - two honors bestowed upon Gregory early in the
run - are nice, but they do not take away all of the boneweariness of a body that
doesn't get a chance to recover. When he left Los Angeles, Father Don Merrifield,
President of Loyola-Marymount University, offered the invocation before a gathering
of 2,000 enthusiastic supporters, among whom were Mayor Tom Bradley and sixty some
T.V. and movie personalities.
Mr. Gregory is 44, and he is doing this run without eating meat or bread or all
of the things we think are so essential to our diets. His run last year from Chicago
to New York was just a shakedown cruise for this more publicized effort.
He wants the trip to be a consciousness-raising effort, calling attention to the
seriousness of the plight of the hungry, both at home and abroad. He will also be
trying to generate funds for worthwhile hunger programs, through sale of T-shirts with
his logo on them, sponsorship of a peany-a-mile, benefit concerts, etc.
The Office of Social Ministries, with help from nearly all of the Provinces, is
one of the sponsoring agents. We, together with the United Church Board for Homeland
Ministries, the Y.M.C.A., and the Save the Children Foundation, helped pay for the
initial costs through loans to this effott. Nearly half of the eventual proceeds
will be disbursed by Jesuits or used in Jesuit hunger projects.
Your support for this effort will be greatly appreciated. There is information
on the Run included in this issue. If the Run goes through your area, we hope you
will help galvanize support for it. If not, we need all the publicity, sale of Tshirts
or advise on fund-raising we can get. Many people who won't give to a strictly
Catholic effort, will support an ecumenical effort to feed the hungry. In Gregory's
own words, "There is no difference between Democrats and Republicans when it comes
to hunger.... You cannot talk about the right to life without the right to eat."
