By: Art Rocker Credits for the video documenting Gregory’s arrest for the poor and voiceless affected by BP’s Oil Spill were given to Operation People for Peace by Harpo Productions (on Ms. Winfrey’s Network and her Production Company). Dick Gregory and Art Rocker demonstrated countless times all over the gulf coast, as well as met with members of the US House of Representatives and attended countless congressional hearings concerning BP and the spill. Gregory and Rocker even went to BP’s Headquarters in London, England where he and Rocker were told to get out. Dick Gregory and Art Rocker went to jail twice and demonstrated over 10- 15 times concerning this disaster. For More information on this effort, you may visit www.opfp.us , or visit the You Tube channel of Operation People for Peace, Inc and Dick Gregory. Recently, the Supreme Court has ruled that British Petroleum must pay thousands of claims, as a result of Art Rocker and Dick Gregory’s efforts; therefore, their efforts have come to an end. This fight was for 10,000 plus claimants including 100’s of black churches and small businesses and others who are typically classified as the underserved and the underrepresented. Presently, there is a settlement underway for our group of claimants. End of Statement End
