JUST IN: Investigators “could not conclusively determine” the identity of “either individual” depicted in the racist photo appearing on Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam’s personal yearbook page.
Eastern Virginia Medical School released its report into a photo depicting two individuals – one wearing blackface and the other a KKK robe– that appeared on the 1984 yearbook page of Gov. Ralph Northam on Wednesday but said they could not"conclusively determine" the identity of either person shown.
The photo, which, came to light in early February this year, sparked a range of outcry and widespread calls for Northam, a Democrat, to resign his office. "Yesterday I took responsibility for content that appeared on my page that was clearly racist and offensive. I will not excuse the content of the photo. It was offensive, racist and despicable. I was seeing it for the first time. I was unaware of what was on my page. I was appalled that they appeared on my page," Northam said at a lengthy press conference at Virginia's Executive Mansion on February 2.
At a press conference on Wednesday, Richard V. Homan, the school's president and provost, said that the school hired an outside law firm, McGuireWoods, to conduct the investigation in order to"maintain the public’s trust and ensure an independent and objective assessment of the past."
