The Weather Underground - Ayres and Dohrn, Rosenberg and Evans
Ayres, whose relationship with Obama we’ve discussed before, is a Distinguished Professor of Education at the University of Illinois at Chicago, and founder of both the Small Schools Workshop and the Center for Youth and Society, which is how Sen. Barack Obama knows him.
But before he and his wife Bernardine Dohrn — also a former member of the Weather Underground — became what the Obama campaign refers to as (quoting Alexander Cockburn) as “respectable fixtures in mainstream liberal Chicago years ago” — they were leaders of the militant group.
