On Thursday, Gov. Mike Dunleavy signed Senate Bill 174 at Anchorage hair salon A Head of Time Design Academy.
Owner of A Head of Time Rosalyn Wyche says the event was one of honor.
Sen. Wilson said that the bill is dear and near to him because of past experiences he — and his friends and family members — have faced. Wilson says that he heard stories of students getting sent home because teachers couldn’t understand the context of the hairstyle.Wyche, who testified in support of the bill, hopes and continues to fight for this opportunity to be extended to the workforce.
A bill to address this issue in the workplace was introduced in the House of Representatives but was not passed. However, Sen. Wilson hopes that he can try again to get a bill in place during the next legislative session to end discrimination in work environments. Wyche said she wouldn’t think that anyone would have to fight to wear their natural hair, to not have their children be discriminated against, or not be fired because of their natural hair.
