“In a statement provided to The FADER, Sally Hazelgrove said members of the Crushers Club are not discouraged from having dreadlocks. She writes: "“The Crusher’s Club does not have any policies prohibiting dreadlocks — we welcome all hairstyles from our youth. On occasion, our kids look to change their hairstyles and ask us to assist, especially since haircuts can be a costly expense for them. Our goal is — and will always be — to equip our youth with the resources to improve their neighborhoods, maximize their potential and develop into the leaders of tomorrow.”
The ongoing controversy over JAY-Z and Roc Nation's deal with the NFL has exploded for the second time in a week. The Crushers Club is one of two groups working with at-risk Chicago kids that will receive part of $400,000 donation from Roc Nation and the NFL as part of the previously announced "Inspire Change" initiative. But the organization came under scutiny on Thursday for social media posts containing images of black children getting their dreadlocks cut off, the phrase "All Lives Matter," and more.
The Twitter account @RzstProgramming resurfaced old posts from social media profiles associated with the Crushers Club. "They engage youth with activities, but it appears part of their agenda is #copaganda and a troubling practice of encouraging young black males to allow the director to cut off their dreads," @RzstProgramming writes.”
