, that included objections raised by photographer Danny Lyon but stopped short of retracting his original claim. Lyon described Capehart's earlier piece as"outrageous," saying that the image in question was part of a larger set and undeniably depicted Sanders, not fellow student activist Bruce Rappaport:
I took the photograph of Bernie Sanders speaking to his fellow CORE members at that sit-in. Bob McNamara, a close friend and CORE activist, is in the very corner next to me in the picture. Across the room from me is another campus photographer named Wexler, who taught me how to develop film. The slander that Bernie was not a very early leader for African American civil rights got so outrageous that persons went into the archives of the University of Chicago and changed captions on Danny Lyon’s 1962 photos, claiming it was Bruce Rappaport standing in Bernie’s clothing leading the demonstration in the Ad Building. These newly discovered pictures, including close up photographs of the student activists show us exactly what Bernie was and what he remains.
In the last campaign when Hillary ran against President Obama, John supported Hillary. I was fishing on the Hudson when I reached John on my cell. “John” I said, “You’ve got to switch. You can create the first black president of the United States.” John said he’d been getting a lot of calls and there would “be an announcement soon.” A week later John switched his support to Barack Obama.
Why is this the photo you chose for the story?
At first I thought 'this photo' meant the photo pictured here, because obviously that's what it seems to depict. And I was like, damn dude really was born an old man and just stayed that way! Like he's got a painting in an attic, but he didn't acquire it soon enough
Misleading to tweet “this photo” when the photo referred to is in the story, not the one in the tweet. Unintentionally confusing.
