The Chicago Tribune has released an archival photo & video of a 21 year-old Bernie Sanders being placed under arrest by city police officers during a Civil Rights protest in 1963. Sanders' campaign confirmed to The Chicago Tribune that the man in question is in fact the future Vermont senator, who was a 21-year-old University of Chicago student at the time. "Bernie identified it himself," Tad Devine, a senior adviser to the campaign, told the newspaper, adding that Sanders has seen the digital image. Sanders was arrested Aug. 12, 1963, and charged with resisting arrest. He was found guilty and fined $25, according to a Tribune story about the protests. Submitted By Cinthia Reyes.
