CROWN Day FAQs
What is National CROWN Day?
National CROWN Day, July 3, is a day of solidarity for the human rights of Black women, men, and children to wear their natural hair boldly and proudly without the fear of being discriminated against in school or the workplace. Recognized as a memorable holiday, CROWN Day commemorates the inaugural signing of California's first CROWN Act legislation on July 3, 2019, to “Create a Respectful and Open World for Natural Hair.” The CROWN movement was created by Black women and championed by the Dove brand.
