This joint resolution designates October 1 of each year as "All Hair is Good Hair Day" in New Jersey, aiming to recognize and celebrate the diversity of hair types and combat historical discrimination against certain hair styles, particularly those associated with Black and marginalized communities. The resolution acknowledges that hair is a crucial element of cultural identity, self-expression, and personal dignity, and seeks to foster a culture of acceptance and respect for all hair types. It officially establishes the annual observance and respectfully requests that the Governor issue an annual proclamation encouraging public officials, citizens, and interested groups to participate in programs and activities that promote understanding and appreciation of hair diversity. By creating this designated day, the resolution aims to affirm individual identity, promote self-esteem, and highlight the importance of hair as a meaningful aspect of personal and cultural expression in New Jersey's diverse population.
