This article provides photographic evidence and confirmation from Bernie Sander's campaign staff that this is Bernie in these pictures from the 1960's civil rights movement. As a college student at Columbia Chicago he was a significant participant in the civil rights protests and sit in's. There was a photo found of Sander's being arrested by Chicago police.
Qualities such as this are exactly what America needs in a President right now. If something is not done soon about racial discrimination that still occurs today. This is one of Americas biggest problems, and something needs to be done about it now.

It is great to know that Bernie Sanders was an active participant in the issue when it was at a height in the 60's as well as now. This shows his dedication to the issue.

I agree. He is clearly very dedicated to this issue which could be exactly what America needs because of its racial discrimination problems.
