  Bill Ayers in Conversation with Michael Patrick MacDonald (Main)

  Main Library, Lecture Hall, 449 Broadway, Cambridge, MA 02138

  Bill Ayers is a scholar known widely for his social justice activism. He has written extensively about freedom, democracy and education, the cultural contexts of school, and teaching as an intellectual, ethical and political enterprise. His new book, When Freedom is the Question, Abolition is the Answer: Reflections on Collective Liberation, shares reflections that incorporate history, political theory, literature, and his own personal experience within social movements. They come together to offer a radical vision for a more just and equitable world. Ayers will be in conversation with Michael Patrick MacDonald, the author of the New York Times Bestselling memoir, All Souls: A Family Story From Southie and the acclaimed Easter Rising: A Memoir of Roots and Rebellion. Registration is required.
