Related: About this forumWhy does the "Bernie at the March on Washington" picture look collaged?
This is the picture:
I've got this thing on my second screen right now, and it appears to me that six people were collaged into it:
Person 1: black guy off Coretta Scott King's left shoulder. The light on his shoulders is quite a bit different than Dr. King's, and they're dressed similarly.
Person 2: black guy two rows back from Mrs. King, slightly to her right. He just looks stuck in.
Person 3: little white guy who has this "halfway out of it" expression on his face; this is proclaimed to be Bernie Sanders. His head is quite a bit smaller than everyone else's, and the light on his shoulders is different.
Person 4: white guy who's in the same row as Person 2, and to the left of Person 3. Looks like a posed studio portrait. Head is larger than Person 6.
Person 5: white guy to the left of person 4, and in the same row as Person 3. Looks very badly cut out.
Person 6: white guy in a suit to the left of Person 5. Badly cut out around his head, more detail in his face than persons 3 through 5.
Some of the others in this picture don't sit well with me - the priest looks a little iffy, too.
I don't know why someone would do this, but it appears they did.

(649 posts)You could begin your "detective" work with the understanding that this is NOT a photograph of the Washington march. This is Selma, AL in 1965. Bernie has never said he was there.
Please.
Google search on the image.

(25,111 posts)We know what he said. Maybe you should tell them that.

(649 posts)Not some other post. The photograph posted above is clearly mislabeled. Perhaps the original poster should correct that.
Thank you.
Edited to add that good detective work is always based in fact.

(28,749 posts)It's not Bernie and Bernie certainly never claimed it was.
I'd self delete if it was me.

(12,689 posts)The image is from Corbis and I ran a Google reverse image search to find that it had been used a few times in the past couple of years. While it isn't re-touched, someone did circulate this particular picture with a bogus claim.

Anyway, this photo has been around forever, so checking its details against the established record should be easy.
