Miami Beach's Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. breakfast had some added star power this year. Award-winning actor Danny Glover tackled an array of issues in his keynote speech on Monday at the Miami Beach Convention Center.
A crowd of 2,000, including some of the region's top business leaders and politicians, listened to Glover talk about our responsibility to humanity. In addition to race relations, he used the end of his speech to touch on the importance of dealing with climate change.
Glover was the event's original speaker when it was started in 1996. The breakfast was put on by the 5000 Role Models of Excellence Project, which is a local program that handed out 47 scholarships to high school seniors during the proceedings.
Glover has a long history as a political and social activist. He has regularly supported service unions, publically supported political candidates and been a UN Goodwill Ambassador.
Glover was given a platform to fight for a better world due to his accomplishments in the entertainment world. He is perhaps best known for playing Sergeant Roger Murtaugh in the "Lethal Weapon" Film Series.
Glover has had starring roles in other films like "The Color Purple," "Predator 2" and "Angels in the Outfield." He is the recipient of five NAACP Image Awards.
