The House Friday passed the CROWN Act, which would ban hair-related discrimination particularly based on race. The legislation, Creating a Respectful and Open World for Natural Hair, is designed to address educational and employment discrimination against Blacks because of the way they wear their hair. Some hairstyles described in the measure include ones in which hair is "tightly coiled or tightly curled, locs, cornrows, twists, braids, Bantu knots and Afros.” To learn more about the legislation, visit the link in our bio.
