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.

President [Barack] Obama is a man who had certain advantages because of the civil rights movement.
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
Mother Earth is in pain and ailing because of global warming.
Danny Glover
The civil rights movement didn't deal with the issue of political disenfranchisement in the Northern cities. It didn't deal with the issues that were happening in places like Detroit, where there was a deep process of deindustrialization going on.
Danny Glover
One of the main purveyors of violence in this world has been this country America.
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

Danny Glover
When you've moved past a point where you're just scrambling for jobs, you think about the things that you want to do. And the things that you want to do are governed by what you've seen, what you choose to embrace
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
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. Black people are caught up in it, white people are caught up in it, white actors, black actors, female actresses - everybody's caught up in it.
Danny Glover
