Northam graduated from a mostly black high school. My guess is that’s why his good ol’ boy college buddies bestowed the nickname and he played it up for laughs with the minstrel costume. The person in the KKK robe being shorter is probably his date. I bet he had a whole comedy routine.
I've not found any proof of this; but I DID find a bunch of OTHER stuff...
In concert with our Board of Visitors' leadership, I will direct that an external investigation be conducted as soon as possible to review all of our past yearbooks, determine the processes for publishing those yearbooks; discover what, if any, administrative oversight was exercised; examine our campus culture; and provide recommendations for future actions.
We will move quickly to assemble an appropriate panel to conduct this investigation — a panel of advocates for diversity and inclusion representative of our greater community, including African Americans and other people of color; a diverse panel that can apply a critical eye to this issue.
We commit to transparency and moving the investigation forward as quickly as possible.
