Glover pays tribute to mother at commencement

By
AUGUSTA - Actor Danny Glover honored his mother during commencement ceremonies at Paine College, a historically black college in Augusta. <br> <br> Glover&#39;s mother -- Carrie Hunley Glover -- graduated from Paine in 1942. In 1990, he memorialized his mother with a 100-thousan dollar donation to Paine for an endowment in her name. <br> <br> Glover -- best known for his role in the ``Lethal Weapon&#39;&#39; movies -- told graduates this afternoon that his grandparents&#39; proudest moments were when his mother was accepted as a student at Paine and when she graduated. <br> <br> Glover said -- quote -- ``Like your parents, my grandparents worked very hard to get my mother through college. My grandmother was a midwife, who delivered everything from babies to eggs, to get that girl through college.&#39;&#39; <br> <br> Glover shook every student&#39;s hand at Paine&#39;s 120th commencement -- accepting a few hugs as well. <br> <br> There were about a hundred graduates. <br> <br>
