\n The House on Monday passed a bill that would ban discrimination that stems from race-based hairstyles.<\/p>\n

The legislation, called the CROWN Act, would app<\/a>ly in part to situations in employment, housing and federally funded programs.<\/p>\n

Rep. Ilhan Omar celebrated the bill\u2019s passage in a Monday tweet<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor far too long, Black women have been penalized for simply existing as themselves\u2014that ends today,\u201d Omar wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis passage is long overdue, but an important step forward to combat racial discrimination,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Rep. Barbara Lee, one of the first co-sponsors of the bill first introduced in Dec. 2019, also lauded its passage.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo one should feel forced to change their natural hair. I\u2019ve been rocking my crown for decades & everybody should feel empowered to rock theirs too,\u201d the California Congresswoman wrote on twitter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Seven states, including New York, have already adopted laws prohibiting race-based hair discrimination.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
