Learn about the Crown Act and... Unlock the Secrets to Radiant, Healthy Hair and Boost Your Self-Esteem!

Join Evanston Public Library and Yeefah Thurman on Sunday, December 8, from 2pm - 4pm to Celebrate National Crown Act with the Evanston Public Library! in celebration and preparation for National Crown Day on July 3, 2025! This event will educate and address the hair discrimination against BIPOC, specifically Black people, define the importance of the National Crown Act, and will be able to sign the national petition pushing for policy change. 

With the assistance of professional hair care specialists, such as curly hair specialist, loctician, barber, hair stylist, and skin care expert, participants get to learn from a panel of hair experts, experience a mini hair and fashion show to highlight the panelists' creativity and expertise, and receive a very brief hair consultation. Participants will have the opportunity to share their own individual stories and/or hair care journeys. Children and adults will be able to bedazzle their very own crown to take home at the crafting table! This event will also showcase Black-owned hair care products and participants will be entered in a raffle to win some hair care freebies! 

Special shoutout to the Burger King (1829 Dempster St.) on Dodge and Dempster for their sponsorship and collaboration efforts!!!  

We are looking for local hairstylists and fashion designers to highlight in this event! If you are interested in participating and promoting your business, please complete THIS Google Form!
