(Black PR Wire)\u00a0WASHINGTON\u00a0\u2013\u00a0Howard University\u00a0welcomed members of Congress\u00a0recently to engage with students about the\u00a0C.R.O.W.N. Act\u00a0(Create a Respectful and Open World for Natural Hair). The act\u00a0is a law that prohibits race-based hair discrimination, which is the denial of employment and educational opportunities because of hair texture or protective hairstyles including braids, dreadlocks, twists, or bantu knots. The panel was moderated by Howard University students Morgan Rameau and Shaletta Norwood.<\/p>\n

Senator\u00a0Cory Booker\u00a0of New Jersey began the program with a dedication to the women in Congress and activists who have championed this act. Their efforts have led to 18 states already passing the CROWN Act. \u201cFor Black people, hair is rooted in the stories of our resistance. It is rooted in the beauty of our past. It is rooted in the defiance of a culture that demands its firm status in the beauty of America,\u201d said Booker.<\/p>\n

Members of the\u00a0Congressional Black Congress, Representatives\u00a0Bonnie Watson Coleman,\u00a0Barbara Lee,\u00a0Gwen Moore,\u00a0Ilhan Omar,\u00a0Cori Bush,\u00a0Ayanna Pressley, and actress\u00a0Michelle Hurd\u00a0participated in a panel discussion where they revealed their own experiences with hair-based discrimination.<\/p>\n

All of the women at the table testified to the importance that their hair and hairstyles have played in their lives, especially as it relates to their self-confidence and authentic self-expression. They echoed the idea that, as Black women, exploring the versatility of their natural hair and finding their preferred hairstyles contributed to their finding themselves. The experience of being told that their natural hair was unprofessional and, in some cases, preventing them from advancing in their careers reinforces their commitment to passing the CROWN Act. \u201cYou should be able to show up as you are without being worried about punitive measures,\u201d said Lee.<\/p>\n

The panel ended the discussion by emphasizing the importance of voting during every election cycle and holding your elected officials accountable to what the voters who put them in their positions. Pressley said, \u201cA vote is not a valentine, you are not confessing your love for a candidate; it is a chess move for the world we want to live in. We do not elect saviors; we elect partners and partnership is about accountability.\u201d<\/p>\n
