Calls are mounting for Democratic Virginia Governor Ralph Northam to resign after a photo surfaced from his medical school yearbook showing a man wearing blackface posing next to a man wearing a Ku Klux Klan outfit. On Friday, Northam apologized for the photo in his 1984 Eastern Virginia Medical School yearbook but walked back his statements the following day, claiming neither of the men in the photo were him, although he did admit to using blackface to portray Michael Jackson at a dance contest. On Saturday, protesters gathered near the Virginia Governor’s Mansion, calling for Northam’s resignation.

Arthur Burton: “We’re here today standing in the very space that codified the laws that created slavery and put us in a brutal system that we are still struggling to get out from under today. We’re here because the history of Jim Crow is obviously still alive and living up in the Governor’s Mansion.”

Northam met with senior staff Sunday evening to discuss possible next steps, including resignation. If Northam steps down, Lieutenant Governor Justin Fairfax would fill his seat and become the only current African-American governor in the U.S. We’ll have more on this story after headlines.
