In 2002, Dolezal unsuccessfully sued Howard University for discrimination based on "race, pregnancy, family responsibilities, and gender, as well as retaliation". Her lawsuit alleged that she was denied scholarship funds, a teaching assistant position, and other opportunities because she was a white woman.
According to her brother Ezra, Dolezal began changing her appearance as early as 2009, when she began using hair products that she had seen Ezra's biological sister use. She began darkening her skin and perming her hair sometime around 2011. When Ezra moved in with Rachel in 2012, she told him that Spokane-area residents knew her as black and said, "Don't blow my cover."
Dolezal was president of the NAACP chapter in Spokane, Washington, from 2014 until June 2015, when she resigned in the midst of controversy over her racial identity. She received public scrutiny when her white parents publicly stated that she was passing as black.
In the aftermath of the controversy, Dolezal was dismissed from her position as an instructor in Africana studies at Eastern Washington University and was removed from her post as chair of the Police Ombudsman Commission in Spokane over "a pattern of misconduct".
The Dolezal controversy fueled a national debate in the United States about racial identity. Dolezal's critics stated that she committed cultural appropriation and fraud; Dolezal and her defenders asserted that her self-identification is genuine. In 2017, Dolezal released a memoir on her racial identity entitled In Full Color: Finding My Place in a Black and White World .
Dolezal was raised in the Pentecostal faith. She has stated that her parents frequently abused her. In a 2017 interview, she said she was taught to believe that "everything that came naturally, instinctively was wrong"—a point that was "literally beaten into us". In a 2015 interview, Dolezal said she was "punished by skin complexion" by her mother and "white stepfather", and compared this alleged punishment to the punishment suffered by black slaves.

North Port police said they attempted to talk to Laundrie, but were rebuffed by his parents, who put them in touch with his attorney.

Taylor said he wasn’t aware of the envelope dropoff Tuesday.
Judge Ford thinks about the clues—SKIES AM SHINING BROTHER—while examining the letter that Plum gave her, which certifies that Westing was sane. The letter is signed by Dr. Sikes, who was also in the car accident. Judge Ford mulls over the will: Westing implied that he was murdered, the murderer was an heir, he knew the murderer, and the murderer’s name was the correct answer. As she doesn’t believe Westing was the type of person to get murdered, she deduces that one of the heirs is guilty of some other action against him. Judge Ford determines to find the heir before anyone else to ensure justice, not vengeance, wins out. She calls a newspaper to find out everything she can about the heirs.
Meanwhile, in the Theodorakis apartment, Chris, who uses a wheelchair, unsuccessfully tries to tell Theo that he saw somebody enter the Westing mansion, but Theo interrupts him with an overly dramatic ghost story about Westing.
In the Wexler apartment, Angela and Sydelle look at their own clues: GOOD GRACE FROM HOOD SPACIOUS. Then they add the words they have deduced from other pairs: KING QUEEN PURPLE WAVES ON (NO), GRAINS, MOUNTAIN (EMPTY). Sydelle wonders if the object of the game is actually “twin” (from “to win”), and they go to her apartment to transcribe her notes. But when Sydelle and Angela get to her apartment, they find the door open and her notebook stolen.

Children: Melissa (Nothing is publicly known of the two children McCorvey gave up for adoption.) Notable Quote: “I wasn’t the wrong person to become Jane Roe. I wasn’t the right person to become Jane Roe. I was just the person who became Jane Roe, of Roe v. Wade.
However, she felt that feminist activists treated her with disdain because she was a poor, blue-collar, drug-abusing woman instead of a polished, educated feminist.
Since the Roe v. Wade ruling, "about 50 million legal abortions have been performed in the United States, although later court decisions and new state and federal laws have imposed restrictions, and abortions have declined with the wide use of contraceptives," according to McCorvey's obituary published in The New York Times .
After McCorvey revealed that she was Jane Roe, she encountered harassment and violence. People in Texas yelled at her in grocery stores and shot at her house. She aligned herself with the pro-choice movement, even speaking at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C., She worked at several clinics where abortions were provided. In 1994, she wrote a book, with a ghostwriter, called "I am Roe: My Life, Roe v. Wade, and Freedom of Choice."
McCorvey ran away from home at one point and, after returning, was sent to reform school. After the family moved to Houston, her parents divorced when she was 13. McCorvey suffered abuse, met and married Elwood McCorvey at age 16, and left Texas for California.
Roe v. Wade. Roe v. Wade was filed in Texas in March 1970 on behalf of the named plaintiff and "all women similarly situated," typical wording for a class-action lawsuit. "Jane Roe" was the lead plaintiff of the class.

When using Ms., don't use the husband's first name ( Ms. Anna Smith (maiden name) or Ms. Anna Jones (married name)). For widowed women, the above rule also applies, but it's most traditional to use Mrs. and her late husband's first and last names ( Mrs. Henry Jones ).
Single women over 18 or married women who use their maiden name should be Ms. ( Ms. Anna Smith ).
For widowed women, the above rule also applies, but it's most traditional to use Mrs. and her late husband's first and last names ( Mrs. Henry Jones ).
Married couples who both use the husband's last name should be Mr. and Mrs. followed by his first and last name ( Mr. and Mrs. Henry Jones ).
For doctors, judges, members of the clergy, or military officers, titles should be included when addressing both formal and informal correspondence to the best of your knowledge.
This can be one of the trickiest parts of addressing envelopes, because there are so many options and variables. (Note: For informal notes to close friends and family, omitting titles is okay, but it's never wrong to add them if you're unsure.) If you're working on formal wedding invitations, check out our thorough guide here. Below are the general rules:
A helpful reminder for making last names plural: You shouldn't address a family this way, but you may use it in the return address on your envelope (or certainly when signing your holiday card). Simply add s or -es to the last name —don't add any apostrophes! Read this explainer for more details.
An officer observes an individual leaving a place the officer believes to be a drug house. As the officer approaches, the man makes furtive gestures, reacts nervously, and changes course quickly before the officer yells out for the man to stop. The man stops. The man is carrying a locked case.
A police officer stops a person on the basis of reasonable suspicion. The officer also has reasonable suspicion to believe the person is armed. During the pat-down, the officer feels what he thinks could possibly be a small baggie containing drugs, but the officer is unsure. Based on this information, the officer.

a. They constitute a seizure under the Fourth Amendment and are permissible when the seizure is temporary, the resulting search was limited, the evidence obtained was destructible, and the police had probable cause to arrest.
c. This full sweep is only justified if there is reasonable suspicion to believe accomplices are present that could harm the officers.
b. The officer may search the backpack without a warrant but only if the officer has
