Yearbook photo \'abhorrent\': Med school president

ROUGH CUT (NO REPORTER NARRATION) Eastern Virginia Medical School President Richard Homan apologized on Tuesday for a racist photo printed in a 1984 yearbook that is at the center of a scandal involving Virginia Governor Ralph Northam, whose yearbook page included a photo of a man in blackface, as calls mount for Northam's resignation.

Northam on Tuesday resisted calls to step down, with the state's Democratic Latino organization joining the chorus seeking his resignation.

The first-term Democrat has been under fire since a conservative media website released the photo on Friday, which showed one person in blackface standing beside a masked person in the white robes of the white supremacist group the Ku Klux Klan.

Northam, who has avoided the public since Saturday, faced calls to step down from many top Democrats in Virginia - seen as a key swing state for the 2020 presidential election - as well as from at least five Democratic presidential candidates.
