LIVE POLL: Celebrate Big, Bold and Beautiful Movie Afros (World Afro Day)

"World Afro Day celebrates natural kinky, coiled, or curly hair for people from black or mixed-race ethnicities. World Afro Day was founded in an attempt to normalize afros and their natural texture and end discrimination towards people who wish to wear their hair in their natural afros. The day also attempts to instill a sense of pride in people about their hair and remove feelings of shame that might be associated with tightly coiled and kinky hair." Source: National Today 

The theme of WORLD AFRO DAY 2024 is "Fix the law, not our hair" to assure afro wearers receive equal human rights protection under the law, as hair discrimination is currently a promblematic issue in schools, the workplace and elsewhere. In support of World Afro Day 2024, in celebration of afro wearers in film, as well as, a call to end textureism:

I gotta think more than a few of these movie character afros were in the "world-class" category for their era as being Big, Bold, & Beautiful, when compared to the current and previous Guinness World Records holders.

@ThisIsMe22​  Clarence Williams III has a world class afro, no doubt. But, he starred as the former delinquent-turned-undercover cop Linc Hayes on the highly popular TV cop series Mod Squad (1968)

But, Omar Epps starred as the former delinquent-turned-undercover cop Linc Hayes in the movie version, Mod Squad (1999) of the TV series, Mod Squad (1968).

I wanted to include Clarence Williams III, but this is a movie poll only, and the movie version of Linc Hayes has short hair.
