With thoughtful insight into the devastation that struck Haiti yesterday, Link TV board member Danny Glover spoke with our friends at GRITtv today to discuss steps forward for the Haitian capital. Glover points out that in this great moment of internationalism, the U.S. has the opportunity to rebuild its relationship with Haiti, and he voices a warning that disasters like this will inevitably strike again as climate change continues. This GRITtv clip also includes a harrowing interview with Marie St. Cyr, a prominent AIDS activist with family in Haiti.

Check out this great op-ed piece on minorities in the media in the Guardian UK from one of Link TV's board members, actor and UNDP Goodwill Ambassador Danny Glover! Written together with U.S. Congressman Mike Honda (D-California), the piece calls out the lack of diversity in America's newsrooms, and the paucity of coverage of minority issues. There's also a nice plug for Link TV and the channel's mission of providing diverse global perspectives, with Glover and Honda pointing out that "the more world-wise we become, the more capable we will be as a nation to understand and be understood." The article has spawned a lively discussion on the Guardian UK's website - let us know what YOU think!
