Bernie Sanders Arrested!

February 21, 2016

US Democratic Presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders was arrested, not in 2016, but in 1963. Sanders was arrested on August 12, 1963, during a Civil Rights Movement protest. A picture of the incident emerged from the Chicago Tribune Archives as Nevada held its Democratic caucuses on Saturday. This photo, rather than harm Sanders, could actually boost his popularity among the Black community in the US. (Pic Chicago Tribune)
