Nia Weeks poses at City Park in New Orleans, Wednesday, Dec. 9, 2020. Weeks recently appeared before a City Council committee and requested that members approve a local version of what’s know as the CROWN Act, a measure banning discrimination against hair styles commonly worn by members of a particular race. The ordinance, approved unanimously in the Community Development Committee, was modeled on the federal legislation. The bill passed the U.S. House in September.
