VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. Governor Ralph Northam is trying to improve equity and inclusion in Virginia.
Northam pledged progress in 2019 after an investigation into a photo showing someone in blackface on his EVMS yearbook page. The results of that investigation were inconclusive and the governor said he was not the man in the picture.
The Governor’s Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, and the Equity Leadership Taskforce stepped up and created two new online dashboards to help strengthen equity in the community.
