This is all misunderstood.
Susan Englander, assistant editor of the Martin Luther King Jr. Papers Project at Stanford University, who is editing the King papers from that era,
says Myth Romney was untruthful, when she told the Globe yesterday:
"I researched this question, and indeed it is untrue that George Romney marched with [Dr.] King."

And if THAT is not enuf,
"King never marched in Grosse Pointe, according to the Grosse Pointe Historical Society,
and had not appeared in the town at all at the time the Broder book was published.
“I’m quite certain of that,” says Suzy Berschback, curator of the Grosse Pointe Historical Society"

How could these educated women BOTH be lying. Maybe it is just a misspelling.

That's the ticket. Romney saw his dad marching with MILK.

Actually, we seem to have come to the conclusion that the first woman you quote is correct, and that we've been wrong all these years.

But as to the 2nd woman, since we have concluded that King did not march with Romney, the question is whether Romney marched in Grosse Pointe. And the answer is yes, even thought the woman you quote also said Romney wouldn't have come to Grosse Pointe.

We also know King marched in Detroit six days earlier, and I don't know if that march included Grosse Pointe or not, nor does it matter since we know that Romney was invited to march in that march but turned it down.

That an historian had to do research to show that it was untrue shows that it was not obviously false.
