Especially in light of that fascinating fact of nearly 1500 elected African-American office-holders between 1865-1876, I'd like to see how those numbers--that is, the number of African-American office-holders--were affected by Jim Crow, and to what degree the proportion (I presume that the straight numbers are less meaningful, given that the size of the country itself has expanded quite a bit since 1876) of African-American elected officials has recovered to those levels in the years since.
Official rhetoric has helped fuel an escalation of tension between the United States and Iran. Do recent negotiations mark a change in direction, or just a temporary detour from the highway to military attack?
