Designates September 15 of each year as "World Afro Day" in NJ.

SJR 62 designates September 15 of each year as "World Afro Day" in New Jersey to celebrate natural Afro hair and promote awareness about historical discrimination against natural hairstyles. The resolution requests the Governor issue an annual proclamation encouraging schools, cultural institutions, and communities to observe the day with educational activities focused on ending hair-based bias. This symbolic measure aligns with New Jersey's existing CROWN Act (2019), which prohibits hair discrimination in workplaces and schools, and recognizes September 15 as the date marking a pivotal 2016 court case involving hair discrimination.
