The CROWN Act: Banning Race-Based Hair Discrimination

Описание к видео The CROWN Act: Banning Race-Based Hair Discrimination

Many Black women wear their hair in its natural state as a means of self-expression, to connect with cultural roots, and to limit chemical exposure due to health concerns. However, it is currently legal to discriminate against a person in the workplace because of their natural or protective hairstyle in 31 states. According to a 2019 Dove study, Black women are 1.5 times more likely to be sent home from work because of their hair.

Racial equity activist Adjoa B. Asamoah joins host Tetiana Anderson to discuss the CROWN Act – legislation that prohibits race-based hair discrimination in the workplace, schools, and public accommodations.
