Spokane NAACP Rejects #RachelDolezal's Call to Cancel Public Meeting Scheduled for Monday

At the Spokane Spokesman Review, "Rachel Dolezal postpones meeting with NAACP board in Spokane."

The local NAACP argues that Shaniqua lacks the authority to cancel the meeting on her own:

Rachel Dolezal notifed Spokane NAACP members today that a meeting scheduled to take place Monday has been postponed. The meeting was to have allowed Dolezal, the organization’s president, to address the growing controversy over the disclosure that she has falsely been portraying herself as black for years.

The short message said, “Due to the need to continue discussion with regional and national NAACP leaders, tomorrow’s meeting is postponed and will be rescheduled for a later date. We appreciate your patience and understanding at this time.”

About an hour later, board member Lawrence Burnley emailed NAACP members to say that he doesn’t believe Dolezal has the authority to postpone the meeting.

“I don’t see any language in the by-laws that empowers you, or any one member, to arbitrarily cancel/postpone tomorrow’s meeting,” wrote Burnley, chairman of the chapter’s executive committee.

Burnley notes that the executive committee is scheduled to meet today.

Well, it looks like Shaniqua's "trusted advisors" are having her bring in more legal firepower, heh:
