The number of very tall people is small when limited to a person's circle of friends. Who did Northam know who was taller than he is? How about when they were back in high school or college?
This make me think that it can't be Northam in the KKK costume, because there likely aren't many people he knew back then who were a head taller than he is.

I THINK IT WAS AL SHARPTON.
I think you are on to what I am thinking. I was able through Classmate’s web site to get Northam’s 1977 basket ball team photo. I was able to do a screen shot and copy just the men’s basketball photo which shows Northam in the back row. There is black team member, also in the back row, if you draw a line from his lips it will hit Northam’s eyes, just as in the KKK photo. I think we have a match FRiend!
