The progressive movement against the war of occupation in Iraq is a reason for hope, as is resistance to free trade agreements in Latin America. Those are moments that we have to celebrate: that people still find the resolve and energy to resist

Hollywood is designed to check the box office on Monday morning and see: How'd we do? How much? It's another facet of this whole culture of accumulation and consumption.

Danny Glover
It's also important for those who promote those issues within the white community - the somewhat privileged community - to talk about issues affecting people of color.
Danny Glover
I have the capacity to express what I feel needs to be expressed. And I try to do what I believe in.
Danny Glover
Freedom Summer, the massive voter education project in Mississippi, was 1964. I graduated from high school in 1965. So becoming active was almost a rite of passage.
