Jeff Selle on KXLY

COEUR D’ALENE, Idaho -

Rachel Dolezal, the white Spokane civil rights leader who was caught masquerading as a black woman, has now resigned as president of the NAACP. Her tale of using disguises to lead a double life has made international news but actually got it’s start as a story in the Coeur d’Alene Press.

That story was broken by veteran reporter Jeff Selle at the Coeur d’Alene Press, where his editors were worried that a rash of hate crimes Dolezal was reporting in Coeur d’Alene might not be legitimate. When Dolezal told police the same type of racial harassment was happening after she moved to Spokane, KXLY and the Coeur d’Alene Press decided to take a closer look. More including the video here.
