German parliamentarians are set to debate a hotly contested proposal on banning the far-right Alternative for Germany.
But there’s little consensus on whether it’s a good idea to be having such a discussion just weeks ahead of a national election.

Black Americans whose ancestors were enslaved until the Civil War still face significant educational, income, and wealth gaps compared to descendants of those who gained their freedom earlier.

Why history continues to shape racial inequality in the US
Nearly 160 years after the end of slavery, significant disparities persist between Black and white Americans. This column studies the long-run effects of slavery, and the Jim Crow laws that enforced racial segregation following the Civil War, on Black Americans’ economic outcomes. Those whose ancestors were enslaved until the Civil War have less education, income, and wealth than Black families whose ancestors were free – disparities that persist not simply because of slavery, but because most families enslaved until the Civil War lived in states with strict Jim Crow regimes when slavery ended.
