Video and images have recently emerged showing presidential candidate Bernie Sanders being arrested during a civil rights protest in 1963.

The Sanders campaign has confirmed to The New York Times that the clip showing a man with dark hair wearing a hoodie, glasses and watch is indeed Bernie Sanders.

The clip was shared from a film company called Kartemquin Films, and was shot by Jerry Temaner, one of its co-founders. 

The Chicago Tribune then shared a photo from its archives on Saturday, which provides a clearer shot of Sanders' face. The photo is reportedly from the same event.

At the time, 21-year-old Sanders was attending The University of Chicago, where he took place in a civil rights demonstration in Englewood, protesting segregation in schools. According to the Times, Chicago Public Schools was planning on building a school in that location.

Sanders was charged with resisting arrest on August 12, 1963. He was found guilty and was fined $25, the Tribune reports.
