Shreveport City Council to introduce hair discrimination ordinance
View Comments
In keeping with CROWN Act legislation passed by several other states and cities, Shreveport City Councilwoman LeVette Fuller sponsored a bill that aims to stop discrimination based on natural hairstyles.
A California law, the CROWN Act, which stands for Creating a Respectful and Open World for Natural Hair, prohibits discrimination based on hair texture and hairstyle.
Cofounded in 2019 by Dove, the National Urban League, Color of Change, and the Western Center on Law & Poverty, the CROWN Coalition spearheads national campaigns and political lobbying for protection against “natural” hair discrimination that African Americans continually experience.
