(8,175 posts)You are only going to give Hillary supporters more ammunition to discredit him by pushing this falsehood.
All the other pictures in Chicago have been confirmed. Those were Bernie. And he participated in the March on Washington in 1963. He was a member of the SNCC, but it was a huge org and John Lewis could not possibly have met all people involved in it. John Lewis and Capehart have been corrected, even if they haven't admitted they were wrong to say what they did. Lewis really didn't come right out and deny Bernie was an activist for civil rights. He just implied it. Capehart lied about him and the photos. But that has been corrected, even by the University of Chicago.
Please don't help the Hillary camp with this persistence on the Selma photo. I don't know where you are getting this info, but it's not correct. You really should remove that part of your OP.
There are a lot of people in this thread asking you to correct your OP because it's not helpful to include that photo. We would NOT be doing this if he was in that photo. You have obviously seen how social media reacted to Capehart. We got the truth about about what he was denying, but that was all related to the Chicago images.
please...please fix you OP.
