Pa. House passes CROWN Act
HARRISBURG, Pa. (KDKA) - The Pa. House of Representatives has passed a bill that would make it illegal to discriminate against a person because of their natural hair.
The CROWN Act seeks to end race-based hair discrimination.
In a statement, Rep. Summer Lee said it's time to "make respect for our beautiful black hair law in our commonwealth."
She also says 25% of Black women believe they have been denied a job interview because of their hair.
