Danny Glover
It's a misconception to believe that the resistance ended with the civil rights movement.
Danny Glover
President Obama is a man who had certain advantages because of the civil rights movement.

The leaders of the Black Power Movement were challenging that paradigm.

If we talk about the environment, for example, we have to talk about environmental racism - about the fact that kids in South Central Los Angeles have a third of the lung capacity of kids in Santa Monica.
Danny Glover
What's more important is that we talk about movements change happens through movements. The movement to end slavery, the movement to bring justice for those who have been left out of the system, movements to include women, movements around sexual preference - all these movements brought about change.
Danny Glover
Popular literature and culture used to reflect people's aspirations, pain, and passion. All those particular things are no longer available to us.
Danny Glover
But rarely have I made choices that made me feel I was really compromising what I believe.
Danny Glover

Danny Glover

Danny Glover
When someone you know passes on, the only thing you can do is keep moving forward.
Danny Glover
Just look at the cinema itself: It's comprised of lots of movies about graphic novels, and if you're not 20 years old and wearing a cape and a mask and white, you're out of business. Today's cinema is a proliferation of comedies, which are in some ways creating caricature images. They're one-dimensional.
Danny Glover
Democracy is about criticism.
