Zayd Ayers Dohrn was born in a safe house during the decade his parents were in hiding. In 1969, Zayd’s mother and father, Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn, founded the revolutionary group called the Weather Underground. FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover declared Bernadine the most dangerous woman in America, placing her on the FBI’s 10 Most Wanted list. Bernadine was an outlaw but she also became a folk hero. In their lives underground, Ayers and Dohrn allegedly committed acts of violence like bombing government buildings to call attention to the Vietnam war. They also gave birth to two children. Zayd has written a memoir of those years called Dangerous, Dirty, Violent, and Young. We talk about political ideals and how the role of revolutionary urban guerrilla clashed with the idea of raising a family.
