Virginia Governor Refuses to Resign After Racist Photo

Calls for Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam to resign are coming from all sides of the political aisle following the report Friday that Northam appeared in a photo in his medical school yearbook that showed a man dressed in blackface and another person wearing a Ku Klux Klan robe and hood.

Gov. Ralph Northam of Virginia, defying pleas from his own party to resign, said on Saturday that he would remain in office, and flatly denied that he had worn Ku Klux Klan robes or appeared in blackface in an image from his medical school yearbook that has upended his governorship and embarrassed his fellow Democrats.
