If you’re wondering in what year Mark was born, so are we. The only information we have is that Ruth followed the kenyan in late 1964, one biography has her marrying the kenyan on Chistmas Eve in 1964. The earliest year for Mark’s birth would therefor be likely 1965. The family group image which shows Ruth holding Mark has him about a year + in age. So that image would be from around 1966.
And that’s what makes the dark boy, who almost reaches to her waist, about five years old; born in 1961.
Mark has never revealed his age. All he ever said was, ‘I’m younger than Obama’. Which again raises the question, who is the dark child in the Two Little Boys image? Because that dark boy is evidently the older of the two.
Last one and never again.
Here’s a succinct description of Ayers’ book “Dreams”, except that it’s probably less than half true:
Half the truth is often a great lie. - Benjamin Franklin
