SPOKANE, Wash., June 18 (UPI) -- Rachel Dolezal, a white NAACP leader who purported to be black, sparking a fierce debate about racial identity, was asked to resign her post as head of Spokane's police oversight board.
Spokane Mayor David Condon called for Dolezal, who was born white but has long claimed black heritage, and two others on the city's volunteer Police Ombudsman Commission to resign amid allegations they behaved rudely and unprofessionally during an interaction with a city employee.
