Pennsylvania becomes latest state to adopt CROWN Act, preventing discrimination based on a person's hair

Pennsylvania took a major step towards equality when it comes to natural hair.

Governor Josh Shapiro was at the Island Design Natural Hair Studio in Philadelphia's Parkside neighborhood on Tuesday morning to officially sign a bill, known as the CROWN Act.

It prevents discrimination based on a person's hair type, texture or style in schools, the workplace and social venues.

Pennsylvania is now the 28th state to adopt the CROWN Act, joining New Jersey and Delaware.
