Gov. Ralph Northam has said that the photo of the man in blackface on his student-submitted yearbook page is not him and he has no idea how it got there. And he did admit once using blackface for a Michael Jackson dance contest.
But what if, as @Patterico notes in this series of photos, the blackface costume from the yearbook is the Michael Jackson costume?
