Embattled Virginia governor under mounting pressure to resign
An undated yearbook photo appears to show Virginia Governor Ralph “Coonman” Northam sporting the same pair of pants as a man in blackface pictured in his 1984 medical school yearbook.
The photo in question features a group of boys standing in front of a car below the title “Hi-Y” (a YMCA boys-only high-school program). The caption below indicates that Ralph Northam was the group’s president, while a boy standing on the right side is wearing what appears to be an identical pair of pants to the figure in blackface in Northam’s controversial 1984 yearbook page.
“While balancing classes and work, Ralph also distinguished himself as captain of the both the basketball and baseball teams, and President of Student Government, the Beta Club and the Hi-Y Club, reads Northam’s bio at Our Campaigns.
