RICHMOND, Va. — A group of people gathered at Monroe Park in Richmond on Monday to participate in the "March of Reckoning," a protest that demanded the resignation of Virginia Governor Ralph Northam.

Marchers carried signs -- advocating a variety of topics -- from the VCU Campus to Capitol Square.

Northam has insisted he had no plans to resign following his blackface yearbook photo scandal which made international headlines earlier this month.

"March of Reckoning" participants said they would not take no for an answer.

"As we know nationwide many folks have been pushing for Northam's resignation as well," organizer Rebbecca Keel said. "We’re on the ground we’re doing the work here. "

Keel said they've demanded Northam's resignation letter by Tuesday.

In an effort to move forward, Governor Northam will attend a justice event Thursday at Virginia Union University in Richmond.

VUU indicated the governor would attend, but not speak at, the event as "part of his promise to start a conversation about racial injustice and the need for reconciliation where he intends to listen, learn, and continue to grow as a leader."

LOLOLOL! They need a bigger banner so that a complete list can be put up. I notice some clothes that don’t appear to be cotton or wool. What’s up with that bro? Sunglasses made from, swamp reeds? Just sayin’.

I think that’s a “sexual anarchy” banner in the back ... these people anti-everything. “Dominion” must go? I assume that means “Dominion Resources” AKA the power and gas company. These ‘tards are welcome to squat in freezing squalor, in the dark ... I’d prefer not to join them.

I love the list of “they all must go” wish I could read the whole thing.

Who’s going to explain to these people that they aren’t just ignorant, rather they are veritable black holes of ignorance - from which no spark of enlightenment nor any flash of brilliance could ever escape.

Seriously. This is a beautiful sign for all the stupidity it highlights of those around it.

Amazing, isn’t it? A spineless Republican would have already fled with their tail tucked between their legs (like the former Attorney General or whatever of Florida earlier this year.) Democrats can get away with anything.

They have a lot on there. Missing the the black guy who supposedly raped a couple women. The AG not on there for doing the same thing Northam did. The AG job is more important at the moment. A rightous bunch.

Resign over baby killing, not years-ago facepaint.

They wave around Anarchy signs because it’s so cool. They don’t want to meet REAL Anarchists or Fascists. These azzwipes are playing make believe. They also give a “target rich environment”.
