A bill to ban hair discrimination in Michigan is picking up support from the Detroit City Council President Pro-Tempore.
On Sept. 22, Mary Sheffield introduced a resolution in support of "The Crown Act." It's a national movement to prohibit race-based hair discrimination.
The resolution was approved unanimously to support the movement, according to Sheffield.
The act has already been passed in seven states, and Sheffield is hoping Michigan is next.
Legislation has received the green light in the Michigan House and now needs approval from the Senate.
