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.
