Local NAACP to host community meeting
The public firestorm surrounding Dolezal has been a distraction from the work of the NAACP, she said.
“We want the focus back on the issues at hand,” she said. “For us it’s not about Rachel, it’s about the work. She will have to answer for her own actions.”
In the interests of mending their relationship with the community, the NAACP is inviting the public to a special meeting at 7 p.m. on June 29 called “Community Conversation: Moving Towards Healing.” The meeting will be held at the Holy Temple Church of God in Christ, 806 W. Indiana.
“We want to assure people that we stand for integrity,” Quarles-Burnley said. “We’ve been here for 95 years and we will work together so that the legacy will continue.” Nina Culver, SR story and photo
