Bill Ayers: The Need to Build a Movement Against War and Fascism

Published: Dec. 30, 2016, 5 a.m.

On today's episode of Loud & Clear, Brian Becker is joined for the full hour by historic activist, author and educator Bill Ayers.

Though Ayers' life as a member of the Weather Underground in the 1960s and 70s is often discussed, less attention is given to his work as an award-winning educator and his work in curriculum and instruction. He has released over twenty books, many on education but also memoirs and political works. In "Demand the Impossible: A Radical Manifesto", Ayers discusses the progressive causes and anti-war activism that he has long been a champion of, and how these movements can lead to a fundamentally different world.
