William Ayers: Diving Into the Wreckage -- Big Ideas in Baby Steps

I was fortunate enough to be in the audience for this 36 minute presentation mostly about education but so broad in principle as to apply to everything.

Bill does a mic check within the first minute, I was one of only two who responded to the first one, sadly, but everyone in attendance is on the good side, I think.



One pertinent part at around 28 minutes is the question, "what are we NOT seeing because it's become naturalized?".

Like slavery at one time, abhorrent but widely accepted, or so many other embarrassing aspects of our society, like privilege and the lack of access to education, health, etc.

If you have time, watch it.
