Rachel Dolezal

Nkechi Amare Diallo (born November 12, 1977), commonly known by her previous name Rachel Anne Dolezal (also spelled Doležal ;), is an American former civil rights activist and former Africana studies instructor. She was president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) chapter in Spokane, Washington, from 2014 until June 15, 2015, when she resigned after it was revealed that she had lied about being African American, many other aspects of her biography, and alleged hate crimes against her.

In June 2015, Dolezal came to media attention when her European American parents stated publicly that Dolezal was a white woman passing as black. Their statement followed Dolezal's reports to police and local news media that she had been the victim of nine hate crimes; however a subsequent police investigation did not support Dolezal's allegations.
