The Dusty Crutchfield Women's Coalition was founded by Helen Ladsen immediately after her 2021 Brunswick Georgia Mayoral bid. The Coalition seeks to educate, organize and lead people from poverty to progress.
It's initial public effort was as a cosponsor of the Drapetomania Conference hosted in Brunswick Georgia in the Spring of 2022.
The Womens Coalition takes its name from Loduska 'Dusky' Crutchfield, of Harris County Georgia. On January 22nd, 1912, Ms. Crutchfield was lynched along with Hamilton Georgia minister Burrell Hardaway, John Moore and Gene Harrington. Each was a tenant farmer working land owned by Norman Hadley Jr., the wealthy, unmarried nephew of the County Sheriff. They were hung from a water oak beside the outdoor baptismal font of the black Friendship Baptist Church before their bodies were riddled with over three hundred bullets, one of those shot through Ms. Crutchfield's tongue.
