Thousands of Black Women file Lawsuits claiming Hair Relaxers gave them Cancer - Michael Imhotep

Thousands of Black Women file Lawsuits claiming Hair Relaxers gave them Cancer; Black Lawmakers Reintroduce The CROWN Act to Ban Hair Discrimination - TheAHNShow with Historian & National Political Commentator Michael Imhotep 6-2-24
Thousands of African American Women have filed Lawsuits against hair relaxer companies after the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) study found an association, though not a causal link, between frequent use of chemical hair relaxers and uterine cancer. Hair straighteners such as L’Oreal’s Dark & Lovely and Revlon’s Creme of Nature are marketed overwhelmingly to women of color, according to the lawsuits.
Some of the ads show Black women applying hair products before cutting to a summary of the NIH study’s findings.
More than 7,000 similar lawsuits have been filed by many plaintiffs’ lawyers. The cases have been consolidated in a Chicago federal court as part of a multidistrict litigation proceeding (MDL), a procedure designed to more efficiently manage lawsuits filed in multiple jurisdictions.
Even though the legal claims asserted in the lawsuits don’t allege racial discrimination, Attorney Benjamin Crump says the cases should be viewed as “essentially civil rights issues.”
For Black women, “it’s projected on them that they have to live up to some kind of European standard of beauty,” Crump, who represents plaintiffs in high-profile racial discrimination cases and is a regular on cable news, said in an interview.

This Course looks at different ways African Americans fought back against Racism between 1800 - 1968. You're understanding of Politics is directly related to you're understanding of History. We'll analyze U.S. History, primarily from the African American perspective, beginning in 1803 with the Louisiana Purchase, The Haitian Revolution, The Missouri Compromise of 1820, Special Field Order #15 (aka '40 Acres and a Mule)', the end of the Civil War and the 13th Amendment through 1968. We'll look at The Reconstruction Era (1865-1877), The Red Summer of 1919, The Jim Crow Era, World War I, The Great Migration, World War II, The Civil Rights Movement and the Black Power Movement to get a better understanding of how we got to where we are now and where do we go from here. Unfortunately, some of this history is repeating itself. America needs a massive History Lesson.
