Description
Join Northeastern University-Seattle as we host one of the most consequential thinkers and agents of change in U.S. American political and cultural history of our time. Bill Ayers is the recently retired Distinguished Professor of Education at University of Illinois, and author of several books, including Teaching Toward Freedom: Moral Commitment and Ethical Action in the Classroom, Race Course: Against White Supremacy, and Public Enemy: Confessions of an American Dissident. A leader in the Weather Underground, Ayers was committed to making a revolution in America to end the war in Vietnam, and spent several years living underground while on the FBI’s ten-most-wanted list. When Vice-Presidential candidate Sara Palin accused President Barack Obama of “paling around with domestic terrorists,” she had Ayers in mind. Bill Ayers will offer a community conversation about political change and social justice.
