Michigan Governor Signs Anti-Hair Discrimination Bill into Law
TL;DR Summary
Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer signed a bill into law that bans racial discrimination targeting a person's natural hairstyle. The law amends Michigan's Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act to specify that racial discrimination focused on "hair texture and protective hairstyles" is prohibited in employment decisions, housing, and education. With Whitmer's signature on the new proposal, Michigan joins 20 other states that have already enacted policies known as the CROWN Act.
