From Wikipedia, more or less:
In 1969, Bill Ayers co-founded the Weather Underground, a revolutionary group that sought to overthrow American imperialism.
During the 1970s, the Weather Underground conducted a campaign of bombing public buildings in opposition to U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War.
The FBI described the Weather Underground as a domestic terrorist group.
Ayers was hunted as a fugitive for several years, until charges were dropped due to illegal actions by the FBI agents pursuing him and others.
Ayers went on to become a professor in the College of Education at the University of Illinois at Chicago, holding the titles of Distinguished Professor of Education and Senior University Scholar.
He is married to lawyer and law professor Bernardine Dohrn, who was also a co-founder of the Weather Underground.
