“There's been an awakening of really what Black oppression is. A lot of people that look like me have learned a lot, have listened, have seen the pain that is in this country, that is in Virginia in the last few weeks,” Gov. Northam tells GeoffRBennett.
Virginia is wrestling with removing statues honoring Confederate leaders across the state. The state’s capital, Richmond, served as the capital of the Confederacy during the Civil War and is still home to many commemorations of the Confederacy.
“It shouldn't matter the color of your skin, the country that you come from, the religion that you practice or who you love. We want to welcome people to Virginia, and how can we welcome people to our capitol city to Virginia with a lineup of five Confederate generals? In 2020, we can do better than that.”
Northam repeated those denials Wednesday, arguing that the issue was bigger than him and that he’s since committed himself to addressing racial inequality issues in office.
