Community leaders push for awareness on hair discrimination
During a recent government meeting, discussions highlighted the need for changes in local regulations to ensure fairness and accountability. A commissioner expressed frustration over the city manager's reluctance to engage in matters of rule enforcement, emphasizing that until the rules are amended, all parties should adhere to them equally. The commissioner criticized the town's website for not being updated, questioning whether these issues were deemed unimportant by city officials.

In another segment, Commissioner Sellers acknowledged July 3rd as National Crown Day, celebrating the community's pioneering efforts in Kansas to pass an ordinance against discrimination based on cultural and ethnic hairstyles. She urged residents to recognize the significance of natural hair within the Black community and to remain vigilant against microaggressions related to hair discrimination, particularly in light of the recently enacted CROWD Act.

Sellers also shared her experiences from a recent trip to Germany with a sister city delegation, noting the valuable insights gained during the visit. However, she postponed a detailed report on the trip due to health concerns, humorously mentioning that she returned with a cold.

The meeting concluded with a reminder that future agenda items would not be broadcast on the city's YouTube channel or cable channel 25, indicating a shift in how public discussions will be shared with the community.
