The Crown We Never Take Off: A History of Black Hair Through the Ages

Welcome to the very first video of my YouTube channel, The Unwise Thinker. In this video, I will be discussing the hurdles, and hardships, African people face (especially women) due to something they were born with. THEIR NATURAL HAIR. We are going to travel through time, to understand where it all began, how it evolved throughout the centuries, how we got to where we are today, and what we should expect from the future. #afrohair #blackgirlmagic #africa #childrenofafrica #blackisbeautiful #darkskin #darkskintone Sources: YouTube:    • Madam CJ Walker - Early Life | Biography      • Madam CJ Walker - Succesful Business Woman...      • Meet the First Self-Made Female Millionaire      • This is the story of Black hair      • Video      • Pretoria High School pupils protest racism...      • The Crown Act seeks to protect against hai...      • 19th-century ads written by newly freed sl...   Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CROWN_A...) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CROWN_A... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madam_C... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discrim... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discrim... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protect... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afro https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afro-te... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plaçage https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tignon_law https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Childre... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esteban...
