Newly uncovered 1963 protest footage boosts Sanders campaign

Bernie Sanders being dragged away from a protest by the police is genuine, according to Sanders.

Sanders was also fined for a sum of $25 for resisting the arrest.

Sanders spokesman Michael Briggs on Thursday distanced the Vermont senator from comments made by rapper Killer Mike at a recent Sanders rally in Atlanta.

Devine told The Times that Sanders recalled owning a watch similar to the one the man seen in the picture and video is wearing.

Gordon Quinn and Rachel Dixon, of Kartemquin Films, discovered the video while working on a film about the 1963 Chicago Public School Boycott.

A newly uncovered photograph of a college-aged Bernie Sanders getting arrested during a civil rights protest could bolster the Democratic presidential hopeful’s civil rights record as he battles with Hillary Clinton to win black voters, a key demographic in the upcoming SC primary.

Sanders’ activism at the University of Chicago has been in the news recently, after questions arose about a different photo that appeared to show Sanders addressing students at a 1962 campus sit-in.

Bernie Sanders is meeting with civil rights leaders in Washington, vowing to help black Americans escape poverty, protect voting rights and any nomination President Barack Obama nominates to the Supreme Court.

According to the paper, the 1963 protest was over “Willie Wagons”, mobile classrooms civil rights activists said were brought to the Englewood area by then-Chicago Schools Superintendent Benjamin Willis to prevent black students from being integrated into white schools. Clinton and her supporters have accused Sanders of focusing on economic issues ahead of racial equality, and not having a history of fighting for racial justice.
