On this day, 22 July 1946, actor and activist Danny Glover was born. The son of two postal workers, Glover took part in the longest student strike in US history in 1968. He worked in the Black Panthers free breakfast for children programme and helped them organise their newspaper. He later lived in a commune for a year, fought against the Vietnam war and more recently has supported migrant workers and the occupy movement.
