Rachel Dolezal Welcomes Son Langston Attickus, Named After Two African-American Historical Figures

Congratulations are in order for Rachel Dolezal. The former president of the Spokane, Washington chapter of the NAACP has revealed that she welcomed a son on Tuesday.


"Today, we welcomed the newest addition… Langston Attickus, born on 2/16/16, a healthy and perfect little guy with two proud big bros and a happy momma. (named after Langston Hughes & Crispus Attucks)," a statement on Dolezal's Facebook account reads.

Dolezal – whose own race has been a controversial topic – notes that she's named her son after two historical African-American men; poet and social activist Langston Hughes, and Crispus Attucks, who is thought to have been the first American casualty of the Revolutionary War.people
