    Wednesday, July 3. marks the fifth anniversary of the signing of the CROWN Act Legislation , which prohibits race-based hair discrimination.

    People who choose to wear natural or protective hairstyles, like braids and locs, cannot be denied employment or educational opportunities under the CROWN Act, which stands for “Create a Respectful and Open World for Natural Hair,”

    According to the CROWN Act Coalition , 26 states across the country have passed the CROWN Act into law. 24 states have executive orders modeled after the act or have no defined race-based hair discrimination laws.

    Employers or institutions found in violation of the law where it is active could face racial discrimination charges.
