My hair is my identity: Black people fighting racists to keep their natural hair

Clinton Stanley Jr.
A six-year-old boy, Clinton Stanley Jr. was all set for his first day at a Florida school but when he arrived, he was denied entry because of his hair.

The administration of the school, ‘A Book’s Christian Academy’ said that his dreadlocks did not conform to the “biblical standards of the school.”

The boy’s father, Clinton Stanley Sr., posted the incident on Facebook, where he is seen trying to persuade management of the school to accept his son.
