1. I see him -

he's in front of a man in dress coat and tie, hat and dark glasses.

[ms liberty]

2. Wow. It does look like him.

I wonder if he has said that it is him?

[Rosa Luxemburg]

3. There he is

so we need to show this to the doubters

[Smarmie Doofus]

4. '63, eh...?

I guess right around the time the opposition was gearing up for the Goldwater run.

Ok, ok, she was young. Well... fairly young.

7. "Ok, ok, she was young. Well... fairly young."

And not very bright evidently. Still as dim as a 30 watt bulb. So eager to please though.

20. "So eager to please though"

If the price is right.

5. I think that's the march in Selma

(Bernie) also traveled to Washington—his first time in D.C.—to hear Martin Luther King speak at the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom.

no flags prominent ...

Can't find anything on Bernie marching from Selma

Some might find this two year old video interesting - on how Bernie is working to make some of MLK's dream happen:

8. Thanks for posting that.

I always thought that it was MLK's bucking of the MIC and uniting the poor that got him killed.

The MIC has always depended on the poor to fill the ranks of cannon fodder.

28. Thanks for that link to the politico.com gallery!

I can't say how much I like this guy.
If the USA does it, and I'm increasingly thinking it just might, it'll be the greatest thing to happen to the world.

I had to rewatch Bernie Sanders most recent ad, America, with Simon and Garfunkel.
Just so cool.

So anti-Trump. So anti-neocon. So hopeful. So beautiful.

[malokvale77]

9. I think you're right...

but it does show a uniting of all "us".

[malokvale77]

21. I was 12 in 1965.

My parents were very politically minded. I watched as it all unfolded on TV.

I read it all as it was reported in the local newspapers.

It doesn't matter to me which march Bernie was in. It only matters that he still cares about the cause.

[merrily]

11. Don't kill me, but I don't think that is Sanders. Not tall enough, for one thing.

Hair not curly enough, for another.

Sanders, circa 1971

[cannabis_flower]

15. I can't tell but...

how could you tell how tall he was in the picture - and Sanders is only 5' 8". And also hair curliness can be affected by the length. When my husband's hair is short there is not much curl, but as soon as it gets a couple of inches it starts curling. My hair is wavy when it's short to medium but when it gets long the curl gets pulled right out.

[merrily]

23. 6 feet and 6'1 are the heights I get for Sanders from various sources. For example:

When I first met Sanders in person on Church Street, there were big streaks of dried mud on his shoes and dried blood on his neck from what looked to be a shaving mishap. His hair flew every which way in a gust of wind. At six feet tall, he is wiry, but he walks with shoulders hunched and elbows out, like a big, skulking bird. From a distance, he looked as if he could be homeless.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2015/04/30/your-online-guide-to-bernie-sanders/

A tall man is borne out when I see photos and videos of him standing next to other people. And his shoulders were not stooped then.

Of course, you tell height from a photo by judging how tall things or people are relative to other nearby things or people in a photo.

Everyone's hair is different, so I don't know that your hair or mine is a benchmark. Sanders' was extremely curly when he was younger and he wore it longer most of his life, until this campaign. I don't see a lot of resemblance in the face, either, but that is a more subjective judgment. Also, if this were Sanders, I think we would have seen this photo sooner.

All that said, he said he marched and I believe him. I don't really care if that is him in the photo or not.

[cannabis_flower]

24. Yep

I believe you're right. I had googled it and was surprised that he was shorter than I had thought but I must have read wrong or something because when I googled it again I got somewhere between 5'10" and 6'

[merrily]

25. One website does put him at 5' 8', but it seems to be an outlier.

[winter is coming]

26. The face I could believe is Bernie, but I don't think the skull is tall enough. n/t

[Fawke Em]

27. I question that 5'8" thing (and I've seen it, too).

Hillary is supposed to be 5'7" and he looks much taller than her when they're standing together at the debates. I think he's closer to 6 feet.

[Enthusiast]

12. Kicked and recommended! How awesome!

[Uncle Joe]

13. That's a good pic.

Thanks for the thread, Blue State Bandit.

[tomm2thumbs]

14. Maybe someone in the campaign can verify

is that the figure in the pic, circled?

[RoccoR5955]

18. That's the Bern all right! n/t

[Duppers]

19. That definitely could be him.

I'm very good with faces and that could be him.

The pic could be confirmed by asking Bernie.

[Duval]

16. I found him!! This should go viral.

Great find, and greater reminder. Thanks, Blue State Bandit.

[RoccoR5955]

17. Oh Spit!

I am gonna post this EVERYWHERE!

29. Snopes: Mismarched

Origin:On 20 January 2016, the web site Democratic Underground posted a photograph purportedly showing Bernie Sanders participating in a 1965 civil rights march from Selma to Montgomery (Alabama) with Martin Luther King, Jr. The web site identified the man standing "behind Coretta King, just right of Old Glory in the glasses, white 't' shirt, open collar and dark jacket" as the future United States senator and 2016 Democratic presidential candidate:

30. response to Snopes: Mismarched

The link offered as "proof" in that article leads to the Twitter account of an apparent supporter of HRC who offers nothing as evidence but his own denunciation thereby calling into question the credibility and objectivity of the article and of its author, Don Evon, and by extension of the whole snopes website.
