I'm sure that you all know that the comic genius died from a heart attack. He was a brilliant observer of race relations in the United States, and he spoke from his heart about the real pain that he felt during his life. He was a comedy icon who inspired a generation of Black comedians. I highly recommend two of his movies, "Silver Streak" and "Stir Crazy", for anyone who hasn't seen them.
