"Black Friday" predates shopping deals. 🛍️ The term originally referred to the 1869 U.S. financial panic & stock market crash.
Black Friday is also a 1904 novel by Frederic S. Isham, inspired by those events.

Neo-Nazis are back in the headlines following a stunt outside NSW Parliament last week. But one crucial thing has changed.
