The actor, director and activist Danny Glover has revealed he was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease in 2023, saying it has slowed his speech, movement and memories. In 1968, Glover took part in the longest campus strike in the nation’s history, when the Black Student Union and the Third World Liberation Front organized to create the first school of ethnic studies in the country at San Francisco State University. He went on to perform in over 250 films, while remaining active in movements to end war and apartheid and in support of working people.
