MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WMC) - As of July 1, Tennessee is the first state in the Mid-South to make the CROWN Act law.

It stands for Creating a Respectful and Open World for Natural Hair. This new law prevents employers from discriminating against natural hair or protective hairstyles like braids, locs and twists.

“I think people have a right to be proud of their hair and who they are, and now this bill is going to protect them so that they can’t be fired because of it,” said State Senator Raumesh Akbari.

State Senator Rameush Akbari sponsored Senate Bill 136. For her, passing this legislation is a long time coming. Memphis stylist Leteesha Smith couldn’t agree more.
