Join us for an exciting evening dedicated to discussing convict leasing in the Chattahoochee brick company. This will be an amazing opportunity to network, grow, learn, and lend your voice and suggestions to a more than worthy cause.
We need your voice to be heard! Please join us as we convene with the men and women of our community and share ideas, solutions and candid conversation. We will spend the evening engaging in open conversation about women in convict leasing including but not limited to Ms. Mattie Crawford. We would love to hear your insight and look forward to your participation.
