Bill Ayers

Bill Ayers is an American educator and active figure in the 1960s and 1970s who co-founded the Weather Underground, a radical group that opposed the Vietnam War through protests and illegal activities. Over time, he shifted toward education reform, becoming a professor specializing in teaching methods. While controversial for his past involvement in militant activities, Ayers later focused on community-based education initiatives and fostering social justice. His life reflects a complex journey from radical activism to academic work aimed at improving urban education and addressing inequality.
