Summary

An altered image shared online placed a Huguenot High School football player’s face over a photo of Nolan Wells, an 18-year-old Black student-athlete who died after a July 4th boating trip. Chesterfield school leaders publicly condemned the post at a board meeting.

The school division says the post was created by a Midlothian High School student on a personal device off campus. Local NAACP leaders called for action; school officials said they will develop a plan that includes education on racial bias, and a school board member plans a public forum to be held no later than December.
