BALTIMORE — Threatening letters, at least two containing a white powdery substance, were sent to NAACP offices in three states, a spokesman for the organization said Monday.

The civil rights group's offices in Baltimore and New York City received letters with the powder, said spokesman Richard McIntire. The branch in Norfolk, Va., also received a letter, the FBI said, although it was not immediately determined whether the letter contained powder.

Marvin Cheatham, who heads the Baltimore office of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, said he opened the letter Friday and the substance later was identified as boric acid.

The substance found in New York had not been identified.

8. It was boric acid. Some KKK er probably thinks it is really funny to send

boric acid to the NAACP, boric acid being a substance that is sometimes used to control cockroaches. Just guessing.
