The answer is obvious -- he never did see his father march with King.
Further, this example is one of dozens of lies and flip-flops this sleaze bag has told.
Trust me, this won't be the last time Mitt Wit is caught lying because, like Clinton, he lies like he breathes.
Thank you Ol’ Sparky, for your view but I am still puzzled why not just one but 4 Books were written around the time stating that George Romney did March July 23, 1963, and a tape recording of MLK saying June 23, 1963.
I respect your point of view but I will not engage in bashing Mitt and I have no answer why this confusion around the date I am sure in time it will get resolved with out a question mark??
Nothing can take away the fact that George Romney was of the leading civil rights leader.
I as a citizen have one event to remember but what all took place in my own family events and timeline is not always as accurate in this stage of the Life.
Is Long Term Memory Accurate?
One of the biggest controversies in memory reseach concerns the accuracy of memory. Some people believe that memories are highly accurate. Others believe that while memories MAY be accurate, they are also subject to distortion. In general, research supports the latter view.
There are two major foci for the controversies over the accuracy of memories.
1. “Flashbulb” Memories
People used to believe (and some still do) that under some circumstances, we could form a detailed, perfect memory of what was happening when we heard about a distinctive, surprising, significant event. Such memories are termed “flashbulb” memories. It was believed that these memories were similar in detail to the type of image we get when we take a photograph. (At the moment that the flash goes off- everything is “permanently” recorded.) It was part of memory dogma that these memories were accurate and resistant to fading.
An example that is likely to have led to a “flashbulb” memory for your generation is what you were doing when you first learned about the attacks on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. People who are old enough also have “flashbulb” memories of what we were doing when we heard that Kennedy had been shot, or when we heard that the Challenger (space shuttle) had blown up.
When memory researchers actually TESTED whether “flashbulb” memories were accurate and resistant to fading, the answer was “no.” Ulric Neisser, who was at Emory at the time, actually interviewed Emory students right after the Challenger blew up. He asked them what they were doing and who they were with. Then he found the same students a year later and asked them the same questions. He found that, although students still strongly believed that their memories were accurate, many student’s memories had changed over the course of the year, which meant that “flashbulb” memories are subject to some of the same inaccuracies and distortions as other memories.
