The Miami Beach City Commission on Wednesday voted unanimously to prohibit discriminatory practices “based on the texture or style of a person’s hair'
The Miami Beach City Commission on Wednesday voted unanimously to prohibit discriminatory practices “based on the texture or style of a person’s hair,” according to a news release. The new ordinance bans discrimination based on a person’s hair when seeking housing, employment, public services, funding or use of facilities across the city, the news release from Miami Beach city officials said.
In a May 2021 letter to the mayor and commission, the city manager informed officials of the motion and said, “a growing number of state and local legislatures are enacting laws prohibiting discrimination on the basis of natural hair style and texture.” In December 2020, Broward County, Florida, commissioners voted to include braids, locks, twists, Bantu knots and head wraps on the county’s protection classifications – banning discrimination on the basis of hair.
