“Mitt Romney continued to cite a 1967 book reference as proof his father marched for civil rights with Martin Luther King Jr. even as the author insisted he has no evidence to back up the claim.” (hit piece posted by Leisler)
Comment by Petronski: “What a putz!”
Detroit Free Press: “With Gov. Romney a surprise arrival and marching in the front row, more than 500 Negroes and whites staged a peaceful antidiscrimination parade up Grosse Pointe’s Kercheval Avenue Saturday. ... ‘the elimination of human inequalities and injustices is our urgent and critical domestic problem,’ the governor said. ... [Detroit NAACP President Edward M.] Turner told reporters, ‘I think it is very significant that Governor Romney is here. We are very surprised.’ Romney said, ‘If they want me to lead the parade, I’ll be glad to.’” (”Romney Joins Protest March Of 500 In Grosse Pointe,” Detroit Free Press, 6/29/63)
The clip you posted describes George Romney’s participation in a civil rights march (highly-praiseworthy)...
...at which Dr. King was not present (doesn’t help Willard).
