NAACP Leader Dolezal Cancels Chapter Meeting
SPOKANE, Wash. -- Amid unanswered questions about her ethnic identity and continued leadership, local NAACP acting president Rachel Dolezal on Sundaycanceled a Monday meeting of the chapter.
"Due to the need to continue discussion with regional and national NAACP leaders, tomorrow's meeting is postponed and will be rescheduled for a later date," Dolezal said in an announcement emailed to media on Sunday.
Dolezal, who is also chairwoman of a police oversight committee, said Friday that she and her executive board would be making a statement at the Monday meeting about claims she misled people about her race.
The announcement was also e-mailed to NAACP members. In the email chain Sunday, Executive Committee Chair Lawrence Burnley wrote:
"I'm puzzled by your decision to arbitrarily cancel/postpone the meeting without input from the executive committee which is scheduled to meet today. The Association's by-laws provides specific guidelines concerning monthly general/branch meetings.
