BECKLEY â All seven members of Beckley Common Council voted in favor of the Crown Ordinance, which aims to protect people of color from hair-based discrimination within city limits.
Council had heard during an April 26 workshop from Dr. Kristi Dumas, a local psychologist and member of the city Human Rights Commission. Dumas urged Council to show support for the cityâs Black residents by passing the Crown Ordinance.
On April 27, during the regular council meeting, the ordinance passed unanimously on the first reading. If it passes on the second reading, at the May 11 meeting, it goes into effect.
