Danny Glover shares Alzheimer's diagnosis

The Today segment, which goes on to reflect on Glover’s acting work and activism, is a pretty emotional watch. Glover recalls the activist work of his parents and says that he wants to spend more time talking to younger people about the responsibilities they have toward their communities. “Justice is our collective responsibility,” Glover tells Holt in the written interview Today also shared. “One thing I learned from my parents most of my life is the capacity of people to change through their own. They become the architect of their change.” On the acting side, he cites Places In The Heart as the favorite film he’s made; his mother died just as he was about to begin filming, and Glover dedicated his performance to her.
