The tignon law was a 1786 law enacted by the Spanish Governor of Louisiana Esteban Rodríguez Miró[1] that forced women of African descent to wear a tignon headscarf as a symbol of their enslaved status,[2] following similar Spanish laws established in 1769 and again in 1778.[1] After the law was published,[Note: the RPG says there were protests in 1768 but the year does not match the legislature] a group of free women of color refused to comply with it, leading to heavy protests and demonstrations in New Orleans.[2]
