In the fall of 2005, Faisal Daaloul was a young adult protesting in the streets of Clichy-sous-Bois, an impoverished Paris suburb seething over the death of two teenagers as they were pursued by police officers.
Mr. Daaloul is now a father.
Mr. Daaloul is of Tunisian descent and his wife is Black, and he fears that his son would be a perfect target for the police.
“Little has changed in two decades,” Mr. Daaloul said.
After the 2005 riots, the French government invested billions of euros to revamp its immigrant suburbs, or banlieues, to try to rid them of run-down social-housing blocks.
