@senvincenthughes.bsky.social on the CROWN Act: “Natural hair is beautiful. This law protects Pennsylvanians by abolishing any notion that natural hairstyles are not appropriate in professional, educational, or public settings.” www.inquirer.com/politics/pen...
The CROWN Act gets closer to protecting Pennsylvanians from being fired for wearing Afros, braids, or locs
The act especially impacts Black men and women who are required to cut or straighten their natural hair, often using heat and harmful chemicals.
