Dolezal visited city where hate mail was postmarked
Rachel Dolezal was in Oakland, Calif., just days before she reported receiving a package of threatening mail in a Spokane U.S. Postal Service box.
The package Dolezal reported receiving on Feb. 25 included images of lynchings and photos of individuals pointing guns, along with a typed note signed "War Pig."
In May, the now-former Spokane NAACP president reported the receipt of similar mail from the same sender. The letters - from "Formerly known as: 'War Pig (Ret.)'" - were postmarked in Oakland, and offered an apology for the earlier package.
Through a public records request, The Press received documents showing the city of Spokane paid for Dolezal and Adrian Dominguez to travel to Oakland on Feb. 17. The purpose of the two-day trip, according to travel expense records, was for training to assist Dolezal and Dominguez in their volunteer positions on the city's police oversight commission.
