Danny Glover
We have to be that wedge that drives the question and asks the hard questions

Danny Glover
Mother Earth is in pain and ailing - bglobal warming. The world is dealing with issues of immigration, deindustrialization, and poverty. When I was born, there were 2.5 billion people living on the whole planet. Now there are 2.5 billion people living on less than $2 a day. That's the kind of reality we have to deal with.

Danny Glover
We're trying to tell stories. We're a company that's concerned with global change and the effect of global cinema. We're not simply tied to the very limiting framework of U.S. film-making.
Danny Glover
Mother Earth is in pain and ailing because of global warming.
Danny Glover
Since 1957, black people have experienced double-digit unemployment - in good times and bad times. Look at the population of African Americans in prison. They represent more than half the population of prisoners in the country, 55 percent of those on death row
Danny Glover
My theatrical background was in the great work of the South African playwright Athol Fugard.
Danny Glover
If we look at Houston, which is a very environmentally toxic place, we find that it has one of the highest levels of young men going to prison and also among the highest levels of illiteracy in the country.
Danny Glover
But rarely have I made choices that made me feel I was really compromising what I believe.
Danny Glover
We live in a climate of fear, and because of this whole ideology of consumption almost to the point of religion.
Danny Glover
I've been a Goodwill Ambassador for the UNICEF and the UNICEF family for more than twelve years
Danny Glover
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
It's a misconception to believe that the resistance ended with the civil rights movement.
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
One of the main purveyors of violence in this world has been this country America.
