Michigan Senate passes CROWN Act to prevent hair discrimination

Michigan has passed legislation to confirm wearing natural hair should not prevent anyone from rising in the workplace, in education, or in society in general.

Renee McCauley, a great-grandniece of civil-rights icon Rosa Parks, said the CROWN Act finally allows Michigan as a state to embrace her family and heritage fully.

She described how her great grand aunt relocated from Alabama to Detroit because of racism and was welcomed by the city to live and be herself.

“With the passing of Senate Bill 90 and the CROWN Act, I think that’s a step in saying OK to some more of the ideals of embracing how people are as their natural selves,” McCauley stated. “I think she would agree with that. I’m happy, I just think it’s a great day for Michigan.”
