In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the Black Hand, forerunners of the Mafia, planted bombs at stores and residences belonging to successful NItalians as a tactic in extortion schemes. To combat this evil, the New York Police Department (NYPD) founded the Italian Squad under Lieutenant Joseph Petrosino, who enthusiastically pursued those gangsters. Petrosino was assassinated in Palermo, Sicily, while investigating the criminal back- ground of mobsters active in New York. The Italian Squad was the gen- esis of today’s Bomb Squad.

Box 1246 Waterville, ME 04903 Tel. 207-872-5111 Fax: 207-872-5502 [email protected] SYNOPSIS Hello, I’m going to read a declaration of a state of war... within the next 14 days we will attack a symbol or institution of American injustice. Bernardine Dohrn Thirty years ago, with those words, a group of young American radicals announced their intention to overthrow the U.S. government. In THE WEATHER UNDERGROUND, former Underground members, including Bernardine Dohrn, Bill Ayers, Mark Rudd, David Gilbert and Brian Flanagan, speak publicly about the idealistic passion that drove them to bring the war home and the trajectory that placed them on the FBI s most wanted list. Fueled by outrage over racism and the Vietnam War, the Weather Underground waged a low-level war against the U.S. government through much of the 70s-bombing targets across the country that they considered emblematic of the real violence that the U.S. was wreaking throughout the world. Ultimately, the group s carefully organized clandestine network managed to successfully evade one of the largest manhunts in FBI history, yet the group s members would reemerge to life in a country that was dramatically different than the one they had hoped their efforts would inspire.

The editors’ foreword endorses egalitarian thinkers from the history of education, start- ing with Jean Jacques Rousseau and continu- ing with several named and unnamed 20th and 21st-century radicals whose thinking about education has been inseparable from thinking about a more just society and about the elimi- nation of “unjustified suffering, unnatural loss and unnecessary pain” (xii). William Ayers is not only one of the editors of the series, but also the author of Teaching with Conscience in an Imperfect World.

INTRODUCTION Brennan Gilmore works to provide jobs and training in rural areas, participates in local politics, and plays music around the Commonwealth of Virginia. As a Foreign Service Officer, Mr. Gilmore has devoted his career to promoting United States interests and to protecting American citizens through diplomatic efforts abroad. On August 12, 2017, Mr. Gilmore witnessed firsthand James Alex Fields Jr., a neo-Nazi, deliberately drive his Dodge Challenger into a crowd of peaceful protesters, killing Heather Heyer and injuring many others. Mr. Gilmore, who had been filming the protesters as they moved up the street, happened to catch Fields’ attack on video. Mr. 1 Gilmore posted the video on Twitter, where it attracted the attention of the press. After discussing what he had witnessed that day with a number of reporters, Mr. Gilmore soon became the target of right-wing conspiracy theories. Supporters of the alt-right and the “Unite the Right rally,” including the defendants, created a new identity for Mr. Gilmore—the organizer and orchestrator of Fields’ attack and a traitor to the United States.
