A Berlin court temporarily blocked the renaming of Mohrenstrasse to Anton-Wilhelm-Amo-Strasse, halting the unveiling planned for International Day for the Remembrance of the Slave Trade. The decision followed a resident's lawsuit contesting the name change, deemed unnecessary by the court. While the court believes the resident's claim is unlikely to succeed, the renaming is delayed, not canceled. The street's current name is considered racist by many, while others argue it's historical. Similar debates about street names continue across Berlin.
