In the past month I've read stories about a banana that cost more than 5 million, shoes that cost more than 30 million. Is it endtimes?
Stolen in 2005 and recovered by the FBI in 2018, the iconic shoes are one of four surviving pairs and drew renewed attention with the release of 'Wicked'.

In 1896, W.E.B. Du Bois came to Philly to conduct the nation’s first sociological case study of a Black community. His work names the vestiges of slavery and ensuing racial discrimination as key culprits responsible for many Black people being subject to disproportionate levels of gun violence.
Defined and Diminished by Gun Violence
Centuries of inequitable social policy have kept Black Philadelphians dying at disproportionately high rates.
