Ayers did read DuBois. “W.E.B. DuBois’ greatest book was called John Brown,” Ayers said in a published interview in 2012. “Nobody reads it, but it was a great book.”

At least five other authors Obama cites in Dreams -- Richard Wright, Frantz Fanon, Langston Hughes, Malcolm X, and James Baldwin -- Bill Ayers cites in his writings as well. As an aside, both Obama and Ayers misspell Fanon's first name in the same way as "Franz." They both also incorrectly refer to the South African city of Sharpeville, the site of an incident iconic on the left, in the possessive as “Sharpsville” or “Sharpesville.”

Although I could find no example of Ayers spelling “Du Bois,” I cannot believe he would mispronounce it. If he had, his buddies in the Weather Underground would have smoked him out as an FBI plant.

Interesting... Hard to believe Obama could live in Hyde Park and not know how to pronounce old W.E.B. 's last name. Maybe he wasn't particularily political even back then...
