To understand this controversy and William Ayers, you first need to know about the Weather Underground. The group formed in the 1960s after splintering with the radical leftwing organization Students for a Democratic Society.

As a result of their terrorist activities, the FBI launched a massive manhunt that drove many Weather Underground members into hiding.
