DESCRIPTION:In this sequel to Fugitive Days, Ayers charts his life after the Weather 
 Underground, when he becomes the GOP's favorite "domestic terrorist" and 
 "public enemy".\n \nLabeled a "domestic terrorist" by the McCain campaign 
 in 2008 and used by the Radical Right to castigate Barack Obama for 
 "pallin' around with terrorists," Bill Ayers is In fact a dedicated 
 teacher, father, and social justice advocate with a sharp memory and even 
 sharper wit. Public Enemy tells his story from the moment he and his wife, 
 Bernardine Dohrn, emerged from years on the run and rebuilt their lives as 
 public figures, often celebrated for their community work and much hated by 
 the Radical Right. In the face of defamation by conservative media, 
 including a multimillion-dollar campaign aimed solely at demonizing Ayers, 
 and in spite of frequent death threats, Bill and Bernardine stay true to 
 their core beliefs in the power of protest, demonstration, and deep 
 commitment. Ayers reveals how he has navigated the challenges and triumphs 
 of this public life with commitment and good humor- from the red carpet at 
 the Oscars to prison vigils and airports (where he is often detained and 
 where he finally "confesses" that he actually did write Dreams from My 
 Father.\n\nBill Ayers is the author of the acclaimed and controversial 
 memoir Fugitive Days and many books on education, including To Teach, 
 Teaching Toward Freedom, and A Kind and Just Parent. He is the founder of 
 the Small Schools Workshop and was, until his retirement, Distinguished 
 Professor of Education and Senior University Scholar at the University of 
 Illinois at Chicago. He lives in Hyde Park, Chicago.\n\nHosted by MAX 
 PRINGLE, a veteran KPFA Public Affairs Producer.\n\n$12 advance tickets:
