What is the CROWN Act and what do advocates say it will do?

A Texas high school policy banning braided or twisted hair has stopped a teenager from attending school, according to his mother, and brought renewed attention to the CROWN Act.
Dyree Williams, 17, of East Bernard, Texas, is just one of many Black Americans who have felt discriminated against over their hair.
Advocates say the CROWN Act would help people like Williams.
