More quotes by Danny Glover
It's a misconception to believe that the resistance ended with the civil rights movement.
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
We have to be that wedge that drives the question and asks the hard questions
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.
Danny Glover
Im a child of the Civil Rights Movement.
Danny Glover
I was able to do To Sleep with Anger, a very powerful film about African Americans, their spirituality, and the things that happened within a small community and a family.
Danny Glover
The world is dealing with issues of immigration, deindustrialization, and poverty.
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.
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.
Danny Glover
Art is about the dynamics of the human experience.
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.
