The reintroduction of the CROWN Act of 2025 in Congress aims to combat hair discrimination against individuals based on race-related hairstyles. Led by Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman, the bill seeks to address barriers faced by Black and Brown Americans, especially youth, emphasizing that hairstyle should not dictate one's abilities or worth. Supporting bipartisan efforts include Senators Susan Collins and Cory Booker, highlighting that discrimination over natural hair styles is fundamentally inequitable. The Act aims to protect individuals in various settings, ensuring that cultural hair practices are not stigmatized or penalized.
It is an extension of racism. It's just in a different form. We need to remind people that the diversity of people is what makes this country beautiful.
It is wrong that Americans, particularly those within the Black community, continue to face discrimination based on how they choose to style their natural hair.
