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

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