Texas Governor Greg Abbott pushed the conspiratorial narrative that Black people are discriminated against because of their “natural” hair. He made a video signing a Texas version of the “Crown Act.” This stands for Creating a Respectful and Open World for Natural Hair.
The bill was introduced by Representative Rhetta Bowers, who artificially straightens her hair and doesn’t wear it naturally herself.
