Cincinnati is slated to become the next city to ban discrimination against natural hair as it relates to employment and housing opportunities as well as public accommodations."I'm introducing historic, first city in the country, legislation today to add 'natural hair' to our city's non-discrimination policy," Seelbach wrote on Twitter.
— Chris Seelbach October 2, 2019 "After hearing that California passed a similar law this summer, I reached out to friends and colleagues and quickly heard real stories of discrimination they’d experienced," Seelbach told"Good Morning America." To kick off this initiative, Seelbach and his team worked with Cincinnati's law department to review New York and California's previously passed laws to figure out the best way to draft language that fits the needs of their community.
Next, a vote from the full council is expected on Wednesday, Oct. 9. At least five out of nine votes are required for passage.
