Throughout history black women and men have faced unfair scrutiny due to the texture of their hair and have been demeaned and feared because black hair is so unique. In schools across the country, black students are threatened with expulsion for wearing natural hair because it is seen as threatening, while white children with long hair are not questioned.
Well this generation is not having it. They are proud of their hair texture and have started the hashtag #BlackHairChallenge to highlight how special and versatile black hair is.
