(Feb. 14, 2016 04:28 AM ET)– A number of old civil rights photographs have been circulating around the internet which appear to show Senator Bernie Sanders engaged in various marches, sit-ins and other demonstrations.

In an effort to help shed some light on the validity of these photographs, which are really interesting to look at, and which demonstrate an enhanced air of integrity for Sanders, included in this post are a number of links which discussing these photographs in more depth.

The photographs have also been used to discredit claims that Sanders was not as active as he said he was during the civil rights movement.

Congressman John Lewis this week made scathing remarks during a Congressional Black Caucus PAC news conference where he rebuked Sanders’ participation in civil rights activities in the 60s.

Social media began circulating photographs showing Sanders involved in various marches, sit-ins and demonstrations. One photograph actually shows Lewis, Sanders and his wife, who Lewis had his arm around for the picture.

After these photographs circulated over the internet, within days Lewis recanted hsi remarks about Sanders’ limited civil rights movement involvement and “clarified” his remarks.
