The resolution designates October 1 of each year as "All Hair is Good Hair Day" in New Jersey, emphasizing the importance of hair as a key element of cultural identity, self-expression, and personal dignity. It acknowledges the state's diverse population and the various hair types and textures that contribute to its cultural richness. The resolution also highlights the historical stigmatization and discrimination faced by certain hair types, particularly those associated with Black and marginalized communities, in various social, professional, and educational contexts.
By establishing this day, the resolution aims to promote acceptance, respect, and understanding of all hair types, affirming individual identity and boosting self-esteem. It calls upon the Governor to issue an annual proclamation encouraging public officials, citizens, and interested groups to observe the day with appropriate programs and activities, thereby fostering a culture that celebrates the beauty and diversity of hair in New Jersey.
