Race activist Rachel Dolezal: 'I identify as black'...

Rachel Dolezal, a US race activist, has said she "identifies as black" following claims from her parents that she is actually Caucasian.

Ms Dolezal cited a "self-identification with the black experience", explaining that as a child she used the "brown crayon instead of the peach crayon" when drawing self-portraits.
She said she has lived a "life of survival" and all the decisions she has made, including the decision to self-identify this way, were "to survive".
