White NAACP Leader Gave Black Is Beautiful Lecture About History Of Black Hair In Which She Talked About Her Own Tight Curls 

By Daily Mail, Jun. 13, 2015

In a lecture posted just this past February, white NAACP leader talks about the history of black hair and her own personal experiences.

Rachel Dolezal gave the presentation at Eastern Washington University, where she teaches, and talks about, among other things; a timeline of black hair, 'nappiness,' and the brown paper bag test in which only blacks with light skin were welcomed into events or offered jobs.

The name of the lecture was Black Is Beautiful.

Dolezal opened her lecture by reading the poem Among the Things That Used to Be by Willi Coleman.

Coleman, a professor at University of Vermont, wrote the poem about black hair, ending the piece by saying; 'Beauty shops could have been a hell-of-a-place to ferment a revolution.'

    I am interested to learn why this woman chose to identify with her adopted black siblings (?) more than her parents. Did she feel slighted by her parents in some way that caused her to identify more with these siblings than with her them? What litigation is she talking about? Since she backed off publicly explaining the reason for her deception, it seems she does not feel up to sharing her personal history openly. Maybe it would only be more fabrication? Maybe she is not capable of facing her truth? She is hiding behind a black identification. Why did she seek refuge there?
