520 $a Using qualitative content analysis, historical analysis, and legal analysis, this dissertation identifies and examines hair discrimination cases covered by the media from 1969 to 2001. This research assesses the media's framing of hair censorship cases and evaluates the media's coverage of established institutions and plaintiffs involved in hair lawsuits. This dissertation also provides an analysis of selected court rulings regarding African American hair, including the seminal case involving this issue, <italic>Rogers vs. American Airlines</italic>, in which an airline employee suited for the right to wear a braided hairstyle.
520 $a While censorship of textbooks, publications, speech, lewd sexual materials and religious acts normally garners much attention, a new type of censorship has claimed the notice of the courts and the press recently—the censorship of ethnic hairstyles. Some of the incidents include the following: Three students are banned from their jobs at a popular restaurant after a manager said their braided hairstyle was prone to “bugs and lice.” A North Carolina teenager is excluded from a sorority ball because her long, thick dreadlocks do not meet the ball's standards. And a hotel customer service worker is fired because she refused to remove her braids.
520 $a These and other growing cases prove that censorship—even as it relates to a simple hairstyle—is prevalent in contemporary American culture. As America swells with people of many ethnic and diverse backgrounds, the censorship of hairstyles is becoming more than just idle chic chat in beauty parlors. It has become the subject of numerous articles in <italic> The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post</italic> and major law publications. Hairstyles at issue in several lawsuits recently have included dreadlocks, braids and twists. People of several ethnic groups, mainly African Americans, have been fired from their jobs or banned from school or social events for wearing such hairstyles. This study explores the issues involved in these “hair wars” and demonstrates that such simple issues as hair shows that misunderstanding of “other” cultures permeates our society.
520 $a The study argues that neither the media nor the court system has recognized the cultural significance attached to African American hairstyles. News stories that report on the importance of hairstyles to black culture are few. Additionally, lower courts have not recognized the significance of African American natural hairstyles. As a matter of fact, most courts in the cases reviewed for this study have gone so far as to rule the hairstyles as “an immutable characteristic”—something that can be changed anytime or a “fad” rather than related to black cultural traditions.
