Since then, he says the commonwealth has made several positive strides with race relations.
That was a difficult time for Virginia. I took accountability for what happened. I said I’m going to bring good from this. I listened to a lot of people,” said Northam “I learned a lot. We have turned a lot of what I’ve learned about into action, whether it be criminal justice reform, police reform, ending the death penalty.”
Northam has signed several bills promoting social and racial equity in Virginia.
