NORFOLK, Va. (AP) - Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam is reiterating his denial that he's in a racist photo that appeared on his 1984 medical school yearbook page.
Northam made the comments Wednesday after an investigation commissioned by Eastern Virginia Medical School failed to determine whether Northam is in the yearbook photo of a man in blackface next to someone in a Ku Klux Klan hood and robe.
The Democratic governor initially acknowledged he was in the picture when it surfaced in February. He then reversed course the next day, saying he was convinced he wasn't in the photo.
Northam said Wednesday he was sorry for how he responded and said he's working on addressing longstanding racial inequities.
The inconclusive report into whether Virginia's governor was in a racist yearbook photo has been met with shrugs by some Virginians.
A random sampling of state residents said Wednesday that they're more concerned about issues like jobs.
