The Okolo Law Firm, LLC has filed a complaint against VanDevere Chevrolet, alleging VanDevere management’s request to change Seleke’s hair amounted to race-based employment discrimination.
AKRON, Ohio — There’s a renewed push to pass the CROWN Act in Ohio after Seleke Korleh says he was forced to choose between his job and his hair style.“To me, no. Not this. Not in a million years,” said Korleh.“It’s different styles, and people choose different styles, and this is something that I choose,” said Korleh.“When I started at VanDevere, my hair had locs and as my hair began to grow, they had an issue. They treated me differently. Ultimately, it led them to giving me an ultimatum.
But Korleh says he feels that opportunity was taken away from him when he says he was judged on his appearance rather than his work ethic. Imokhai Okolo, managing attorney at the Okolo Law Firm and the attorney representing Korleh, filed a complaint several weeks ago with the Akron Civil Rights Commission, alleging VanDevere management’s request to change Korleh's hair amounted to race-based employment discrimination.
