Learn about the CROWN Act
The CROWN Act, which stands for “Create a Respectful and Open World for Natural Hair,” is a law that prohibits race-based hair discrimination. This piece of legislation addresses the denial of employment, housing, and educational opportunities because of hair texture or protective hairstyles including braids, locs, twists or bantu knots. Seven states have passed it (our team testified in support of it at 3 state senates) and there are 43 more to go!
