A host of Black Democratic lawmakers reintroduced legislation that would ban discrimination against a person's hairstyle or hair texture including locs, cornrows, twists, braids, Bantu knots, Afros, aiming to end race-based hair discrimination.
Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman emphasized the importance of the CROWN Act, stressing that no one should face discrimination due to their natural hair texture, similar to how skin color cannot be controlled.
Adjoa B. Asamoah highlighted that 'race-neutral' grooming policies promote Eurocentric beauty standards, contributing to discrimination against natural Black hairstyles, just as the CROWN Act aims to address.
