Virginia Governor
Ralph Northam is opening up about his journey after a racist photo from his old yearbook surfaced in 2019.
Northam completed an extensive interview with the
New York Times to talk about the moment, and the aftermath, which he said made him a better person leading to a commitment of more racial justice policies.
“It has really opened my eyes,” Northam told the
New York Times. “It made me a better-educated and more-informed person. So it’s helped me to understand when people talk about Black oppression. And I don’t know that I was able to do that before February 2019. Not that my intentions weren’t there, because I’ve always tried to treat people equally and fair, but I understand more now.”

The lawsuit states officers in Windsor, Virginia, drew their guns, pointed them at Lieutenant Caron Nazario and used a slang term to suggest he was facing execution during a traffic stop in December. After several statements, one of the officers pepper-sprayed Nazario, who is Black and Latino.
