First lady of Virginia Pam Northam 'did not focus on black students' when she handed cotton to African-American children on a tour, according to students who participated in the tour and their parents who spoke to The Washington Post
Washington First lady of Virginia Pam Northam"did not focus on black students" when she handed cotton to African-American children on a tour of the governor's mansion and asked them to imagine being slaves in the fields, according to several students who participated in the tour and their parents who spoke to The Washington Post.
The report comes several days after CNN and other outlets, including the Post, reported that Leah Dozier Walker, an employee at the Virginia Department of Education, wrote to Pam Northam's office alleging that while on a tour for state Senate pages, the first lady spoke in the mansion's kitchen cottage -- where enslaved African-Americans were forced to work -- and gave black pages, including Walker's eighth-grade daughter, pieces of cotton.
