Three members of the Lexington City Council are planning to introduce an ordinance to help improve equality in the commonwealth’s second largest city. Councilmembers Shayla Lynch, Denise Gray, and Tanya Fogle are introducing what is called a “C.R.O.W.N Act” ordinance. Councilwoman Lynch said the ordinance is designed to help eliminate, what she calls a common form of discrimination.
“C.R.O.W.N stands for “Creating a Respectful and Open World for Natural hair.” What it will do is protect all citizens from hair discrimination, from being treated differently because of how they express themselves through their hair, how their natural hair grows out of their natural head.”
