that is the work of the naacp. so if you look at her resignation letter she resigns or she states as a reason for resigning allowing the branch to focus on the work. and the work is most important. at the end of the day it is our institutional integrity, our commitment to the issues, not the distractions of any particular individuals that is significant, that is important here. >> it does strike me from the perspective institutional integrity the most troubling issue isn't about her talking about her background or fabricating who her father was. it's the idea that some of the complaints she filed about hate crimes could have possibly been fabricated. we know that investigations into them have been suspended, but it strikes me from the perspective of the organization that would be the most important thing to get to the bottom of. >> we don't know. and we don't want to go beyond the facts. what we do know is for 106 years the naacp has been a trusted voice on america's most profound social justice challenges and civi

in today's society, do you think the president of any chapter of the naacp as the president of the naacp, does that person need to be black? >> i don't think they need to be black, but i think that it's reasonable for the people who are electing someone to know that they're electing a black person just like a faculty -- >> right. exactly right. >> i just want to know. >> take the weird deception lying part out of it i guess is an important part of this discussion, right? >> yeah. >> kate, if i can weigh in on what mark is saying, i don't understand where he's coming from in terms of taking resources away from african-americans because, again, i don't think you need to be black to be a member of the naacp and certainly to rise to prominence within the organization, and i don't think you need to be african-american to be on that council, so the suggestion somehow that by doing this she's taking away from african-americans -- >> that's not what i mean though. >> okay. >> let me be clear. i'm talking about something in particular. she's a faculty member at the university. often times they ha

you can still be part uh the naacp, the naacp back to niagara movement have been at the center. white folks started naacp on a lot of levels. not a question of that. what does it mean for black people to choose their own leadership. maybe they would not have elected her if she were a white woman. maybe the university sunny works at perhaps would not have hired her if they knew they were hiring a white woman to teach afrikaner study. they wanted to hire some one of color. these are choices black people can make. if you are an advocate of black people you should be advocating black self-determination. ability to make our own choices for ourselves. we can't do that if you throw on the braid and the sarongs, act if you are african, blacker than black. i don't know her well. been in settings with her. organized with her. one of the things she has been adamant about. other activists attest to this to the black lives matter movement. she said the black lives matter movement need to be led and directed by black people. outsiders should not be there. it's the height of arrogance to say t

in a letter to the local naacp chapter, ms. dolezal said attention to her personal identity was diverting attention away from the group's causes and the group's mission. so that is the breaking news in that perplexing case. we also want to take you back to the search for those two escaped murderers from the clinton correctional facility in upstate new york. law enforcement officials have searched 8,300 acres. that's 13 square miles and here's what they have to show for it. really not much of anything. since last week there has been really almost no trace so to speak of richard matt and david sweat short of some candy wrappers and depressed grass. the person we have seen plenty of, though, is this woman, joyce mitchell. with her brand new attorney by her side she appeared in court yet again this morning. these are brand new pictures of her appearance today. the prison tailor accused of helping her killer buddies break free. and had she not come down with a case of cold feet she may have been with them right now in their escape.

as long as she wanted to fight for the cause and support the naacp. i say kudos. i also say that, you know under the present circumstances with what's going on the ferguson and in cleveland and in new york on the streets there and in florida with trayvon martin if you've got a european-american who wants to be african-american under those circumstances, that's unusual but i will say, hey, welcome to the club. >> understood. here's another part of that interview with her parents who were talking to the "today" program. let's watch. >> we're puzzled. we're not sure. >> she may have felt that she had some advantage in her activism by being portrayed as a black woman. >> that was their interview with savannah guthrie, of course on "today." mr. wilburn, you're moving on. have you talked to rachel about this? has she, plained herself to you? >> i have not. no, i haven't. and i don't know if she's been speaking with anyone here recently recently. i did speak with her after she was elected president and told her that if there was anything she needed from me she had my num

the naacp is tax-exempt. the government gives it the ability to exempt its donors from paying taxes on the donations they make to it. the same is presumably the case i don't know this to be so but the same is presumably the case with the church in cleveland where he was standing in the clip you just ran, and from the pulpit in which he was speaking. so the question is how far can he go to violate the irs regulations? because the naacp and the church voluntarily waived their first amendment privileges to advocate for legislation or for and against candidates in return for that tax-exempt status. that's where he gets -- not him but they would get in trouble. >> exactly. so the rules say you cannot if you maintain your tax-exempt status if you're the naacp you cannot directly or indirectly participate in the opposition of any candidate for office. now, you tell me whether he sounds like he is opposing a candidate for office. here's another sound bite. >> i'm talking about jeb bush and scott walker and the rest o

we feel the naacp missed that point in their statement. nobody ever said a white western can't lead. we have had white leaders and allies since the movement began many many many years ago, not just 2015. >> i'm curious what your membership is saying. it's a story that captivated the dialogue in the nation. what is the membership saying about this? >> we have mixed feelings and mixed emotions. the cancellation of the meeting yesterday, you saw a lot of members confuse zd. you saw statements coming back. seemed there was miscommunication and it came off disorganized. some of the members wanted to meet. why are we cancelling the meeting? we still want to meet today. people want resolve. that's what they want. they want some type of closure. they want to hear a statement that is clearly stated what the problem is and what a potential solution could be. so even if there was an apology to the members of the community that were affected i think we could have some type of closure and move forward with the healing. the spokane community is ready fo

it really doesn't matter to be a part of the naacp. "where was the change? when did people start saying "no, this is not whook she did." >> i gather from some of the conversations she had is that she was seen as a good leader. that she was seen as somebody who really does care about what she's talking about. i've also heard a lot of people saying that she could have done a few things had she just done it as a white woman. so all of that seems to be the same. in her letter she also thanked the headquarters of the naacp for their unwaivering support. i think it's more of an issue of does this become more distracting to the cause of what they're trying to do for the naacp here in spokane than it does to help. and that's what she addresses in the letter. but obviously, you know it became an interesting topic around the world. people still talking about that and it's obviously a huge distraction. i don't know if it takes away the spotlight on her but at least now the naacp in spokane can move forward in a different way, i think, is the idea. >> all right, stephan
