In January 1962, [[Bernie Sanders]], then a student at the [[University of Chicago]], helped lead a sit-in in protesting university president [[George Wells Beadle]]'s segregated campus housing policy. 
"We feel it is an intolerable situation, when Negro and white students of the university cannot live together in university-owned apartments," Sanders told a crowd of about 200 students. After several days of protests, Beadle met with students to form a commission to investigate discrimination.<ref>{{cite magazine |last=Frizell |first=Sam |url=https://time.com/3896500/bernie-sanders-vermont-campaign-radical/ |title=The Radical Education of Bernie Sanders |magazine=[[Time (magazine)|Time]] |date=May 26, 2015 |access-date=September 10, 2015 }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last=Perlstein |first=Rick |url=http://mag.uchicago.edu/law-policy-society/political-education |title=A political education |work=The University of Chicago Magazine |date=January 2015|access-date=September 10, 2015 }}</ref>
