The Chicago Tribune published some photos of the arrest of CORE activists at a protest in August 1963 near South 73rd Street and Lowe Avenue, which is in the Englewood neighborhood of Chicago. The protest is newsworthy as it included the arrest of Bernie Sanders, whose Civil Rights Movement involvement was recently called into doubt.

Here is an attempt to reconstruct the sequence of three photos.

One photo shows Bernie chained to a fellow protester lying on the ground. Twitter user @GoodsJolly uncovered the full frame photo, revealing the lower half of the photo that was obscured by the Tribune’s web photo viewer.

Bernie Sanders chained to a fellow protester on the ground

Note that Bernie’s left foot is chained, as it is in the film of his arrest (below). In the video, Bernie’s legs are crossed after being turned around by the cop and the chained leg of the woman on the ground appears visible. Presumably between the shots in the video, the chain is cut so the police can drag Bernie away.

Another photo shows the woman protester standing next to Bernie being carried away by police.

A third photo shows Bernie being dragged by police to the wagon; this likely occurred after the second photo since the woman's chain appears already cut loose in the first photo. [Or was it shackled to a root, which might explain the stick-like object under her leg while being carried?]

Reddit user reinaert_de_sos shows how the video and photo relate, taken from distinct angles:

In the picture showing Bernie being dragged, between the two most rightward police is a squarish object. This could be the camera of Kartemquin Films’ Jerry Temaner, as (1) the Kartemquin video shows several reporter’s flashes going off near the wagon, i.e. the movie camera is in their line of sight and (2) the square object is behind a shorter person, matching with the video in which a head of hair partially blocks it as the camera follows Bernie and the cops.

That several flashes fire in the video suggests that yet more photos were taken of Bernie being dragged, and thus might still exist in the August, 1963 archives of photographers or newspapers.

In the multipanel below, Twitter user @AlexJKnapp points out the multiple angles of the arrest from the photos and the video.

For reference, below is Bernie’s University of Chicago yearbook photo from around that time.
