Spokane NAACP wants more investigation of hate mail

SPOKANE (AP) — The Spokane branch of the NAACP wants police to continue investigating whether hate mail was sent to the organization.

Police last week said they were closing an investigation into a report made by former president Rachel Dolezal that she recently received a package of threatening material in the branch’s post office box.

Documents released by police last week showed that the package was not stamped and had not been mailed.

The Spokesman-Review reported Tuesday that the local NAACP wants police and the U.S. Postal Service to continue the investigation. The NAACP is also seeking full disclosure of the conclusions.

Dolezal resigned as president of the local branch Monday after her parents revealed that she was a white woman who was posing as black.
