Appreciating The Beauty And Culture Of Black Hair
Manage episode 291744607 series 2815386
In March, Connecticut became just the 9th state to pass the CROWN Act, a bill that outlaws discrimination on the basis of one’s hair. The passage of the bill is being heralded by advocates who say Black Americans have been forced to assimilate to white beauty standards in order to succeed.
This week on Disrupted, we speak with two Kent State professors on their upcoming exhibition and book on the history and art of black hair.
And we talk with the new programming director of the Arts and Ideas Festival about some new changes to this year's festival. And the introduction of a high fashion hair show.
