Task force member had doubts about Dolezal’s truthfulness
A former board member of the Kootenai County Task Force on Human Relations said he recently approached other board members, urging them to come forward with concerns about the truthfulness of Rachel Dolezal, a former human-rights figure in Coeur d’Alene who now leads Spokane’s NAACP.
Kurt Neumaier is an alternate board member and former full member of the board of directors of the task force since 2001. He said he had suspicions about alleged hate crimes that Dolezal has reported to police in Coeur d’Alene and Spokane, and said he was concerned that the decision of the task force and Human Rights Education Institute to hire her was done without proper vetting and checking into claims about her background. Neumaier said he approached board members recently, urging them to go public with these concerns because of Dolezal’s growing profile in Spokane, but that board members didn’t want to. Full story.
