NORFOLK, Va. - Virginia Governor Ralph Northam’s former medical school was unable to determine his role in a racist photograph that appeared on his 1984 yearbook page, according to a report released on Wednesday following a three-month inquiry.
That led his alma mater, the Eastern Virginia Medical School, to hire the law firm McGuireWoods to investigate how the photo appeared on Northam’s yearbook page. “I felt it was important to take accountability for the photo’s presence on my page, but rather than providing clarity, I instead deepened pain and confusion,” his statement said.Northam, a white 59-year-old former U.S. Army doctor, resisted February calls to step down from within his own party in Virginia - seen as a key swing state for the 2020 presidential election - as well as from at least five Democratic presidential candidates.
Northam was interviewed twice as part of the inquiry, and said he was “positive” he was not in the photograph and did not know who was. Northam told the lawyers that he did submit the other pictures that appear on his page along with the printed quotation.
