Danny Glover is a legend of stage, screen, and the frontlines of social change. Tracing his family's roots back to his great-grandmother's experience as an emancipated slave, his grandparents' work as sharecroppers, and his parents as organizers within the post office, activism runs in Danny's blood. The 1968 student-led strike for Ethnic Studies at San Francisco State University led him to acting when the poet Amiri Baraka recruited him for revolutionary theatre. From working on the stage, he made the transition into films and became a certified star with the Lethal Weapon franchise. He has never stopped using his platform to raise awareness for human rights and he continues to live in San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury neighborhood where he grew up.--For promo opportunities on the podcast, contact [email protected] --History of the Bay Spotify Playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3ZUM4rCv6xfNbvB4r8TVWU?si=9218659b5f4b43aaOnline Store: https://dregsone.myshopify.com Follow Dregs One:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/1UNuCcJlRb8ImMc5haZHXF?si=poJT0BYUS-qCfpEzAX7mlAInstagram: https://instagram.com/dregs_oneTikTok: https://tiktok.com/@dregs_oneTwitter: https://twitter.com/dregs_oneFacebook: https://facebook.com/dregsone41500:00 Growing up in SF07:57 Great-grandparents13:48 SF State student strike20:37 From theatre to films28:58 Danny’s journey33:03 Sidney Portier & Harry Belafonte36:57 Last Black Man In San Francisco
