I Rock My Hair: Pretty and Protected by the CROWN Act

Angel Tate, illustrated by Angel Tate

A young girl explores her right to wear her hair in the styles she chooses, including twist-outs, braids, and ribbons. Standing out is difficult at first, but encouragement from her family, friends, and community helps her step forward with confidence. The book connects her experience to laws such as the CROWN Act and includes additional information about that legislation, which has been enacted in several states and introduced federally.
