“It was certainly somebody who looked like him.”
They all look alike!
“Hokum. The Romney campaign hasn’t turned up any news reports from ‘63 that say Romney and King marched together.”
Incorrect. There are no less than 5 that state that they marched together. You’d consider Harper’s Magazine reputable?

“When the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King marched in Detroit three years ago, Romney marched with him.”
There are also 4 history books that cite them walking together.
From “Detroit: City of Race and Class Violence”
“Mayor Cavanagh, Governor George Romney, and Walter Reuther were among the prominent whites marching with Revered King. The size of the march surprised everyone. About 50,000 were expected, and at least triple that number showed up.”
From “A Nation Divided: The 1968 Presidential Election”
“[Governor Romney] also marched with Martin Luther King, Jr. on one occasion and fought for an open housing law in Michigan.
David Broder’s book , The Republican Establishment, also cites them as marching together
Also from Detroit Perspectives: Crossroads and Turning
“Between 150,000 and 200,000 people participated, 90% of them black. Mayor Cavanagh, Governor George Romney, and Walter Reuther were among prominent whites marching with Reverend King.”
