Probe of racist photo on Va. governor’s yearbook page inconclusive; school investigators unable to identify person in blackface
By Laura Vozzella and Laura Vozzella Local reporter covering Virginia politics Email Bio Follow Jim Morrison May 22 at 10:30 AM NORFOLK — A four-month investigation into a racist picture on Gov. Ralph Northam’s 1984 medical school yearbook page wrapped up with a central mystery unsolved, as investigators announced Wednesday that they have not determined if the governor is in the photo.
The probe was headed by Cullen, a senior partner a former Virginia attorney general and former U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia. Hours after the photo surfaced on a conservative web site on Feb. 1, Northam apologized for appearing in it. National Democrats — led by 2020 contenders — swiftly called on him to step down, and before the night was over, even home-state allies had joined in.
The report released Wednesday said that photographs of individuals in blackface were not isolated to the 1984 EVMS yearbook. In a review of year books spanning from 1976 through 2013, there were at least 10 photographs that included individuals in blackface. The last incident occurred in 2004. Days after the radio remarks, the racist photo from his yearbook surfaced onthe Big League Politics website — supplied by someone offended by Northam’s abortion comments, staff with the site have said.
