Transcript: [Faaji intro] Hello and welcome to Afro Archives Show Twelve “Dread, This”. Firstly a thank you to the ladies who preceded me here on Wandsworth Radio’s Female Friday, Nicolette WilsonClarke with Mind Your Business and Chloe De Save with She Speaks. The last couple of weeks on Afro Archives,

was my sister locs special. We gathered

voices of women to share about their locs, what it means to them and also to comment on the Chastity Jones case in the US, where an African American woman was asked to cut her locs, in order to get a job, but it was NOT held as an act of race discrimination by the courts for the employer to ask Chastity Jones to do this.

Today, we are still in locs territory, and we’re focusing on dreadlocks. We’re also still inspired by events reported from the US. This week’s show is led by the decision of a school called “A Book’s Christian Academy”. The school is in Florida. And it was founded by a woman called Sue Book. What happened, for anyone who missed this earlier in August, was that a 6 year old boy was sent home on his first day of school because he had his hair in dreadlocks. The School said that they have had a rule, since the 70s, © 2018 Ayesha Casely-Hayford

that no dreads are allowed. They have 95% of their children at the school identifying as African-American and reject any arguments of race discrimination against them. The young boy’s family refused to cut their son’s hair and he has gone to another school, where he was been welcomed. But before we go any further, let’s start this show properly. Bringing the heart, bringing the soul. This is Soul II Soul “Back to Life”

[Song: “Back to Life” Soul II Soul]

Welcome back, I’m Ayesha Casely-Hayford and this is Afro Archives on Wandsworth Radio for Female Friday. We’re looking at a decision by A Book’s Christian Academy in Florida to reject Clinton Stanley Junior from attending class. Entrance exams had been passed but on the first day, the school made a decision to send this 6-year old home, because of his dreadlocks. Clinton Stanley Senior, the father, recorded the incident and the video was posted on his Facebook account on 16 August.

So what’s the issue here? I called my uncle Kofi, who lives in The Netherlands, and has been growing his dreadlocks for 35 years, to get his view. But to set the scene, some background on the school. In their Handbook, which is what has caused the trouble, the school says: for “Girls: Hair should be neat with no unnatural colour ” and for “Boys: There are to be no dreads, Mohawks, designs, unnatural colour, or unnatural designs.” On their website home page, A Book’s Christian Academy they quote Proverbs 22: 6 “Train up a child in the way he should go; and when he is old he will not depart from it.”. They also say : “Since all children are created in the image of God, no student will be denied admission because of race, colour, or national origin” The religions references are interesting. A Book ’s Christian Academy talks about Proverbs 22:6 from the Old Testament of The Christian Bible. Also from the Old Testament of The Christian Bible, the Rastafari Movement may quote you Numbers 6:5: “All the days of the vow of separation, no razor shall pass over his head. Until the day be fulfilled of his consecration to the Lord, he shall be holy, and shall let the hair of his head grow.” © 2018 Ayesha Casely-Hayford

With this in mind, I introduce my uncle, Mr Francis Kofi Morny, who is a Production Manager in a Dairy Factory in The Netherlands, and speaking to us from there about what happened in this case:

[INTERVIEW WITH UNCLE KOFI (KM)]

KM: I think I heard about that. Was it in Florida, or somewhere?

ACH: That’s it. What did you think?

KM: Yeah. That was something about his going to school wasn’t it?

ACH: Yeah.

KM: I don’t know what it is but in the States, it depends on where you are, probably. I think that if it was in New York, maybe it would have been a different story. You know, most of the time, dreadlocks are stereotyped. Because of that, a lot of people find dreadlocks offensive. Yeah, maybe that is why. I tell you one thing, here in the Netherlands, people love dreadlocks. I work with my dreadlocks and they love to see my dreadlocks, they want to touch it they want to hold it. It depends © 2018 Ayesha Casely-Hayford

on where you are. Dreadlocks have been around for so long - ancient Egyptians, ancient Greeks, used to wear dreadlocks. I guess it’s just about stereotyping, if you wear dreadlocks today, the assumption is that you smoke marijuana, or you’re a criminal.

ACH: Just to add some detail - in the case, the school said they’d had this rule since the 1970s and every boy must have short hair, so it doesn’t matter at all. They say no dreads but also no coloured, or dyed hair. That the schools is 95% Afro American so they’re refusing to say it’s discrimination. What do you think?

KM: Well, if the school has rules, I guess, those are the rules of the school. My experience of dreadlocks is that a lot of people find dreadlocks offensive and even if the school has a regulation that does not allow long hair, probably the kid was targeted because of the dreadlocks. Not because of the longhair. But then again, if the school has a regulation about short hair, then I guess it’s a school regulation! I don’t really think kids should be targeted because of their hair, or be discriminated against because of how they wear their hair - but if it’s a school regulation, then I guess whoever it was had the right to stop the child from coming to school with long hair.

ACH: Are you willing to share any kind of, personal reasons for your own hair choice, to dreadlock your hair?

KM: Dreadlocks I’ve worn for a lot of reasons. It could be a political statement, could be a social statement, could be culture. I wear my dreadlocks as an ethnic statement and that’s because I’ve been discriminated a lot - I’ve had a lot of discrimination, Mum’s white and dad’s a black African and I kind of get caught in the middle. I’ve always been discriminated against, so for me, dreadlocks is more or less a statement. I © 2018 Ayesha Casely-Hayford

started wearing dreadlocks 35 years ago, and it’s always been a statement to me. I feel proud when I wear them. I have no fears. But then again, there’s some people who don’t come close to me when I wear my dreadlocks, because I guess they get intimidated, by the dreadlocks. For me it was basically an ethnic statement, and also a way of life. The Rastafarian faith to me was quite interesting. I found it more or less a comforting way of life. And that’s why I wear dreadlocks.

ACH: Thank you. Just to reflect a little bit more on what’s happened in Florida. So you said, well, that’s the school policy, that’s the school rule. I mean, you also said, you yourself don’t think anybody should be regulating hairstyles in this way. Do you think it’s fair to say that some rules therefore are discriminatory? Could that rule that they have be discrimination in any way that you might see? © 2018 Ayesha Casely-Hayford

KM: Well yes. You’re talking about a rule that was established in the 70s and if I can remember, in the 70s in the US, there was a lot racial discrimination, and also there was a lot of discrimination as far as they were [people] from the hippie movement, you know, wearing long hair. So there was some kind of social discrimination at the time. But I believe that the rule is archaic. It’s an old rule. And I think the rule should be changed. This is a new generation of kids, and kids go to school wearing all kinds of hairstyles. And a hairstyle should not be a reason why a kid should not be allowed to go to school.

That was my uncle Kofi,

giving us his view on the banning from class of 6-year old

Clinton Stanley Junior by A Book’s Christian Academy in Florida, because of dreadlocks. Uncle Kofi is doing a project in Ghana at the moment with an NGO called Golden Sunrise, working to build schools and public toilets in Ghana. A great reason for me to bring the dreadlocks conversation to Ghana. Here’ s a dread history lesson from Uncle Kofi, followed by an interview with my cousin Naa Shika. Naa Shika is in her mid-twenties and lives in Ghana, she’s doing a Masters in Human Relations in Nottingham. I talked to Naa Shika about the approach towards hair for children in Ghana. In Ghana, in the public schools, the rule is, everyone cuts their hair, you will not find dreadlocks there. But first, uncle Kofi: [UNCLE KOFI] KM: Way back in Ghana, in the olden days, the Ashanti and the Akans, used to wear dreadlocks. Their Shamans, that is their holy men and women, used to wear dreadlocks. I mean dreadlocks is very ancient, over 2,000 years old. Ancient Egyptians and ancient Greeks used to wear dreadlocks also. Dreadlocks have been around for a long time. I

mean the Rastafarians inherited dreadlocks from the Nazarites, from the [Old Testament]

Bible, dreadlocks have been around for a long long time. [INTERVIEW WITH NAA SHIKA (N)] ACH: Did you hear in the news that a young boy, 6 years old, in Florida, in America, was banned from entry into class because of his dreadlocks?

N: No! When did this happen?

ACH: Ok, earlier in August this happened. What I wanted to talk to you about to get your view is, in the school system in Ghana, children have their hair cut short for boarding school. Is that correct?

N: Yeah.

ACH: And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s boys and girls. ÂŠ 2018 Ayesha Casely-Hayford

N: Yeah

ACH: So, I wanted first of all, for you to talk about that. What kind of boarding school does it apply to, and what ages - how does that system work?

N: When I was in school, it usually started at a secondary school level. And it was mostly for public schools. I went to a public school secondary school and it was pretty much the norm that when you get to secondary school, you cut your hair. The only exceptions were the international schools, which were more for, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s say, well-to-do people. So if someone is in secondary school and still has her hair done, you would know that that is probably one of these international schools and that was usually one of the perks of people wanting to go to those schools. After I went to secondary school I realised that schools at the beginning level, so sometimes from class one -

ÂŠ 2018 Ayesha Casely-Hayford

ACH: What age is this?

N: Class one is 6 years old.

ACH: 6 years old - so even from then they were requiring [that children cut their hair] and that’s boys and girls?

N: Yes even from then, yes boys and girls. I mean, I don’t know very much about how that came about or how that was sustained because by then I was already in secondary school. But I would keep meeting people who were much younger than I was and they would have cut their hair because their school required them to cut their hair. And for that one it was not even just the public schools, it was some of the private schools as well.

ACH: And what’s the rationale?

N: The rationale is that children, especially girls, spend more time on their hair, and if they cut their hair, they are able to spend more time on their books. It wasn’t openly said, like it won’t be said directly but somewhat indirectly. But also you know with us [Ghanian culture] you cannot really ask questions as a young person. Like who are you to go and ask why you are being asked to cut your hair? It will probably be a new rule in the school, and parents will be informed. And I doubt that any of the parents will really challenge it. Unless of course, it was one of the private schools which were more well to do and they don’t want it. But generally, that was the rationale, and it is an unspoken thing.

ACH: So it’s kind of accepted culturally? That’s the standard?

N: Yeah.

ACH: In Ghana, if there was a caucasian child, do you think they would be asked to have their hair short?

N: We did have a few exceptions if there was a caucasian child and they would cut their hair actually. So like I said, for secondary school, that was my experience, if there was a caucasian person, they would have to cut their hair. But if it was maybe from the younger grades, class one upwards. I think they would make exceptions. But then again, I didn’t really experience that in my time there. But secondary school, if you were caucasian, they would cut your hair.

ACH: What do you think about this American case?

N: To be honest I am quite surprised. Generally I have always thought that the Western world was open to different hairstyles etc. I am curious about the rationale as to why the boys must have their hair short and why the girls can have it longer. Because it © 2018 Ayesha Casely-Hayford

might be different to what we have back home in Ghana where hair, doing your hair, is actually seen as something that would take you away from your studies. But I’m actually sad about it as well because for me, it looks like a case of discrimination because of the person’s hairdo, which I don’t think is right. Especially if for example this young boy had qualified whatever exam he had to take to get in and whatever procedure he had to go through and if this was the only thing that was preventing him from getting access to that school then I don’t think it’s right.

Ghana, no dreads Florida, no dreads, different cultures, different attitudes and traditions. We are in the realm of sophisticated ideas, thought and logic patterns. These “one size fits all” rules…can the world fit and thrive with this? This calls for us to open the door to more views and opinions and I’m happy to say I can deliver on that. First, to introduce my next guest, this is Sizzla “I’m Living” the acoustic version:

over 30 years’ experience of working in education, health and the personal social care fields. He is a School Governor at Lambeth College in London and also a Magistrates Judge. I interviewed my friend Michael because he has dreadlocks. Here is what he had to share with us on the Florida case, including some Jamaican cultural background on the Black Heart Man:

[INTERVIEW WITH MICHAEL (MS)]

ACH: So did you hear about that?

MS: Yeah I think I did.

ACH: What did you think about it?

MS: It reminds me of something that would have been happening 20 or 30 years ago.

ACH: Wow

MS: I can’t believe that that is happening in 2018.

ACH: What was your recollection of that happening before?

MS: I remember when I was at school as a kid, guys with big afros, boys with big afros, weren’t allowed to sit in the front row of the class.

ACH: Where was this?

MS: This was in Jamaica. They were all told that they had to sit at the back, so that they did not distract anybody with their big afros. But I did not think there would be any kind of hair issue in 2018.

ACH: Was there anything about dreadlocks? So that was afros. Did you have dreadlocks your whole life?

MS: No, I came to dreadlocks a bit later. I’ve never personally had any negative problems with my dreads or seen anyone with problems with dreads, if you see what I’m saying. Apart from people always wanting to play with it and hold it and touch it. My dreadlocks have never stopped me from getting in anywhere.

ACH: Would you mind to share about your decision-making of having dreads and what it means to you?

MS: It’s a kind of journey that people go on. It took me a long while to get to that journey. Now, having said what I said earlier, what’s interesting, is that as a kid, there was always a figure that was used to scare children. And that figure was always what they call a Black Heart Man. And that person was my recollection of early dreadlocks. © 2018 Ayesha Casely-Hayford

So parents had a way of using that early concept of dreadlocks, in a negative way. As you got older, you realised that parents used any trick they could to manage you and sometimes they used even positive things to turn them into negative things to manage you or manage your attention. So the use of that Black Heart Man, if you didn’t behave yourself then the Black Heart Man would come and get you.

That fear kind of faded away as you got into teenage years. So you became more interested in this natural person doing natural things. So my journey to wearing dreadlocks was more about that kind of natural journey, not using a razor, not shaving. Not using a razor anywhere on my face. My head and my face are kind of in synergy, so if I don’t shave my hair, I don’t shave my face either.

MS: Oh definitely wrong.

ACH: And why?

MS: I mean freedom of expression is one. I mean that comes to mind straight away. I mean you’re saying you’re putting some kind of limitation on how people express themselves. So the next thing you probably will say that they can’t wear turban or hijab. You know once you start down that road, that’s where you’re going.

ACH: What’s the difference between a young black boy turning up with dreadlocks and a white boy shaving his head completely and both being banned from school?

MS: That’s a difficult one. I know here in the UK schools have always had an issue with low cut hair and coloured hair and all of that. But I’m not quite sure that that manages the situation. I’m not sure that preventing someone from cutting their hair manages the thinking behind it. I’m not sure, that’s just my view. And I think allowing the same freedom of expression that should allow someone to wear dreadlocks should allow somebody to cut their hair as low as possible. I’m also totally aware of the connotation of close cut hair and the shaven head. But hey, a lot of adults are shaving their head and they’re not skinheads, so I’m not quite sure how you then justify that with a child. So you’re coming back to the thing of as an adult you can do it without any repercussions but as a child you can’t.

ACH: But you yourself as an adult, you hold very high positions, you don’t feel any repercussions, you’ve been able to walk your route, professionally?

MS: Professionally it has never held me back, it has never been an issue. I am not saying it won’t be an issue in the future but it hasn’t been for the last 20/30 years. But you never know. I worry a bit that society is heading to the right rather than to the left, so you never know what could happen. In another ten years time you might have that issue about it. You become more right [as a society], and have less liberal views. You may begin to pounce on hair as more of an issue, you know.

As we begin to draw to the close of the show, I wanted to bring in the viewpoint of a Christian sister, who is a hair designer and works with natural afro hair on a regular basis. Following shortly is my guest Cleopatra Jones, with her reflections on the Florida case, To introduce her, here is a live per formance of “Natty Dread” from, as Cleopatra describes him herself, “the world’s most

loved

dreadlocks”:

[Song: “Natty Dread” Bob Marley]

[INTERVIEW WITH CLEOPATRA (CJ)] CJ: From what you first said, as in the school’s policy was founded from the 70s, that implies to me that they’re going on an old-fashioned mentality of how people behave © 2018 Ayesha Casely-Hayford

with certain hairstyles. So no dreadlocks, no dyed hair, no shaved heads. Unfortunately at that time, [it was perceived that] people with those kinds of hairstyles acted and behaved in negative ways to other people. So for them it is justifiable because it’s what they’ve always done, as in, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it kind of thing.

ACH: Do you think it is a wrong decision today for them to have said that?

CJ: In this day and age, definitely it is a wrong decision. Society is much, much more mixed than it ever has been throughout time. People like Aretha Franklin would be able to testify that. For sure yes, we can tell what life was like then and what life is like now and say it is totally different. And to God be the glory, she lived such a long time she saw so much. You may think most of society’s views have changed but then you really need someone like her to really look throughout time and say okay, we have changed, most of society’s mentality has changed and most of society’s views on hair and the impact on the individual has changed as well.

ACH: Do you think dreadlocks and coloured hair is the same thing? You said it’s old fashioned…Do you think they should change it completely, and anyone should be able to have any hairstyle they like?

CJ: That’s a hard choice to make. When it comes to dreadlocks in particular, I don’t think that that should be classed in the same category as a coloured hair do or a bald hair, because even though unfortunately some people with those types of hairstyles have behaved in really, an out of society’s norms way, doesn’t mean that all people with dreadlocks or shaved heads will behave the same way. So that’s a really hard choice to make. But I wouldn’t say a child of 6 years old, wearing dreadlocks is liable to become a menace to society.

ACH: Is that why you think they made that rule, because they think those kinds of hairstyles indicate a certain kind of person.

CJ: Definitely. At the time it was created, yes.

ACH: And what do you think about dreadlocks yourself generally, and children with dreadlocks?

CJ: To be fair I think dreadlocks is a personal choice. Some children grow it because they know their hair will grow but it’s painful for them to have their hair continually combed and as mum likes it to be neat and blah blah blah. But children prefer it to be free and the way they like it to be. And we’re not bound as much now as we used to be by “You have to have”, that society wants you to look this way. So if you don’t, you will

not be accepted anymore. Dreadlocks is much more of a personal thing and I don’t see any problem in it myself.

ACH: Do you think there’s a link to culture then with dreadlocks? You talked about hair growing and having it combed - can you talk about the connection between afro hair as opposed to caucasian hair?

CJ: Oh wow, now that’s a lot.

ACH: Give me what you can!

CJ: Ok, with dreadlocks, from my personal background, which is now I’m a Christian, and grew up as a Rastafarian, also with Church of England grandparents. A lot going on! But us as black Caribbean mixed-race people, our hair is important. It’s who we are, it’s part of who we are. And just like anybody’s hair, we like it to represent our mood on a day or it can represent beauty or whatever else you want. So it’s not really fair to expect us to change that, to suit somebody else’s expectations. Dreadlocks is not something you [just] decide. I suppose as an adult now-a-days with all of the implications of how society views things - you can’t just say I’m going to go and grow dreadlocks tomorrow, and change my hair because, whether you like it or you’re gonna have other people’s opinions on your hairstyle.

I love that Cleopatra referenced Aretha Franklin. How could I resist:

[Song: “You Make Me Feel Like A Natural Woman” Aretha Franklin]

I’m Ayesha Casely-Hayford bringing you Afro Archives. We’ve been discussing the banning of dreadlocks here on Wandsworth Radio.

The banning of dreadlocks is just one example of the control of hair by schools. There are many cases on the line of hairstyles generally for children of all different races, from skin heads, to shaved lines and designs in head. The case we’ve focused on today happened in Florida but I wanted to pick up on it because we had the same issue reported in the UK last year. On ITV’s “This Morning” on 15 September 2017.

Before she took the decision of Fulham Boys to ask for her son’s dreadlocks to be cut off to court for judicial review, the mother of Chickayzea Flanders was interviewed. Taken from YouTube, here’s the “This Morning” interview with Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes interviewing Mrs Flanders and 12 year old Chickayzea Flanders: [Listen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0BqGblnusEQ]

I’ve not been able to find an update on the legal case brought by the Flanders and I think it is fair to say that this is a complex topic requiring a very sophisticated response.

[Since doing this show there has been an update: The Flanders won their case! See link below for more information] We’re towards the end of the show now. This has been a very layered topic, covering politics, culture, self-expression and religion. It’s not appropriate to offer a conclusion on such a sensitive, nuanced issue. In our transcript magazine for the show, I’ve put some links to expand more on what we’ve been discussing today. You can find the magazines at www.issuu.com. You can also catch the playlist for this show and all the previous ones on my YouTube Channel. As we began, so we shall end. I shall leave you with some more Soul II Soul for our final track Thank you so much for joining me, I hope you’ve enjoyed the show. “Dread, This.” I’ve been Ayesha Casely-Hayford with Afro Archives, and this is Wandsworth Radio.
