A Conversation with Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, Berkeley, 2/22/09: photos and audio
Middle East Children's Alliance (MECA) sponsored "A Conversation with Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn: Building a Movement for Peace in our Time" at King Middle School in Berkeley on Sunday, February 22nd, 2009. Much of the conversation dealt with the topic of their new book, "Against White Supremacy."
Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn are former leaders of the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) and the Weather Underground. Both continue to be social justice activists; Bill is an educator and author, and Bernadine directs the Children and Family Justice Center in Chicago. In the 2008 U.S. Presidential campaign, Bill Ayers was used as a vehicle to attack Barack Obama for "palling around with terrorists" as the two had crossed paths in Chicago via charitable foundations such as the Annenberg Challenge Project and the Woods Fund.
Barbara Lubin of MECA introduced Rick Ayers, who in turn introduced his brother and sister-in-law.

The late journalist Studs Terkel called the memoir "a deeply-moving elegy to all those young dreamers who tried to live decently in an indecent world."
They signed copies of the books at the end of the event.
