In honor of the House passing the CROWN ACT, we are sharing the article "I Love My Hair" which was inspired by the Sesame Street song by the same name. The CROWN ACT stands
for Creating Respectful and Open World for Natural Hair Act. "The bill passed along
party lines with a vote of 235-189. The bill now heads to the Senate for a vote" (NPR,
2022).
"For too long, Black girls have been discriminated against and criminalized for the
hair that grows on our heads and the way we move through and show up in this world,"
Rep. Ayanna Pressley
