Actor, activist, and TransAfrica forum chair Danny Glover joins us just after return­ing from South Africa where he met with the ousted for­mer Hait­ian Pres­i­dent Jean Bertrand Aris­tide. Glover reports Aris­tide wants to come back to his coun­try five years after his ouster in a U.S.-backed coup, but the Obama admin­is­tra­tion hasn’t dropped the U.S. stance of block­ing Aristide’s return to the West­ern hemisphere.
