History snip.. essentially in 1786 the Tignon law was passed following complaints that black women had too much luxury in their being.. notably their hair.. from one of the poorest state in America ffs..
Fast forward to dress / appearance code in the UK secondary schools a few years back, limiting hair styles and length for girls in secondary school.. this should be covered in their education about discriminatory laws based on race, culture and heritage..

I hope this is a massive success story..

This article is very worth reading, as it covers so many important related issues and is also very moving, as articles go.
“Both Naomi Hunte and Fiona Holm were vulnerable black women who called on the police for protection from Carl Cooper, a man who was known to the Met to be a serial perpetrator of high-risk domestic abuse,” says Sophie Naftalin, a partner at Bhatt Murphy solicitors, acting on behalf of the families.
“In Fiona’s case her report of a serious assault in April 2023 came when Carl Cooper was already under investigation for murdering Naomi, but the evidence suggests that within the Met there was a complete failure to adequately information-share, which led to a failure to adequately assess and act upon the risk that Carl Cooper posed to Fiona. Both these deaths were preventable. My clients are deeply pained by the inference that Naomi and Fiona were both treated with contempt by the police because they were black women with mental health conditions and not therefore considered to be deserving of protection or help.”

HBO release last year 4 part series, rise and fall of Stax Records and the healing influence in Memphis, Al Bell was a genius made countless great decisions, what a story so many great voices, songwriters, musicians, many racial references still being played out today..
Al Bell deserves more recognition, it was never black and white.. it was soul brothers and sisters. The Bar-Kays band were supreme and prolific.. that guitar riff from Shaft alone
