The Crown Act - Create a Respectful and Open World for Natural Hair
The
CROWN Act
“Create a Respectful and Open World
for Natural Hair,”
Is a law that prohibits discrimination based on hair
style and hair texture.
First introduced in California in January 2019
by Senator Holly Mitchell (District 30), the CROWN Act expanded the
definition of race in the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) and
Education Code, to ensure protection in workplaces and in K-12 public
and charter schools. The inaugural CROWN Act was signed into law by
Governor Newsom in California on July 3rd and went into effect January
1, 2020.
New York was the second state to introduce the CROWN Act under the leadership of Assemblywoman Tremaine Wright (D-Bedford-Stuyvesant, Northern Crown Heights) and
Senator Jamaal Bailey (D-Bronx, Westchester), and Governor Cuomo signed the CROWN Act into law on July 12th, deeming the legislation effective immediately.
