The denial of employment or educational opportunities due to discrimination based on natural and protective hairstyles, such as Afros, cornrows or dreadlocks, will be prohibited in Michigan under legislation signed Thursday by Gov. Gretchen Whitmer. The new law, known as the Crown Act, will amend the state's civil rights law to ban discrimination based on hair texture and protective hairstyles within employment, housing, education and places of public accommodation. State Sen. Sarah Anthony, who first introduced similar legislation in 2019, said at Thursday's signing in Lansing that for years, she's heard “the stories of men and women and children who are denied opportunities here in our state,” due to hair discrimination.
