Description:

William Ayers discusses his personal journey from 1960s radical and co-founder of the Weather Underground to college professor of education. Ayers takes a number of questions from the audience to frame his talk. He compares his own experiences in the sixties to how the era is portrayed in modern culture and talks about the broad cultural and constitutional issues that were at stake. Ayers also compares the political climate of the sixties to the Bush era and the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq. He says that he personally disavows violence, but also says that living a moral life requires action. Ayers is introduced by Michigan State University Professor Arthur J. Verslius. Part of the MSU Libraries' Colloquia Series, held at the MSU Main Library.
