My Take
Bill Ayers is a genuinely polarizing figure, and I find his arc fascinating precisely because of that. A man who once embraced radical, militant politics later spent decades as a respected educator and writer on pedagogy. Whatever one makes of his ideology, and views differ sharply, there is an undeniable consistency of conviction running through his life. I am drawn less to the politics than to the person who keeps committing his beliefs to the page through autobiography. People who live fully inside their convictions, for better or worse, tend to leave a mark, and Ayers certainly has.
