Bill Ayers & Bernadine Dohrn
Democracy Now!’s award winning journalists Juan Gonzalez and Amy Goodman interview Weather Underground founders Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn.
In the late stages of the 2008 presidential race, no other name was used more by the McCain-Palin campaign against Barack Obama than Bill Ayers. Ayers is a respected Chicago professor who was a member of the 1960s militant antiwar group the Weather Underground.
In their first joint television interview, Ayers and his wife Bernardine Dohrn discuss the McCain campaign attacks, President-elect Obama, the Weather Underground, the legacy of 1960s social justice movements, and more.
