NAACP leader and civil rights activist outed as WHITE by her parents who say she's been pretending to be black for years
An NAACP leader's parents have made a startling revelation: their daughter, for years a highly
visible civil rights activist in Eastern Washington, is white.
Rachel Dolezal, Spokane's NAACP Chapter President and part-time Africana Studies professor at
Eastern Washington University, has been misleading people about her ethnicity for years, her
parents say.
Her mother even offered photographic proof. While today the 37-year-old divorcee currently sports
tight, dark curls, her mom Ruthanne Dolezal showed KREM photos of the fair and freckled blonde
daughter she once knew.
Dolezal is now facing a city ethics probe after she identified herself as black in an application to
serve on a local police ombudsman commission - a position she secured.
