Philadelphia's status as the nation's poorest big city is a major cause of its gunfire. In collaboration with The Trace, CitizenCast brings Mensah M. Dean's examination of race and gun violence to listeners as a three-part audio series. Part 3 unearths the stories of two Philadelphians who were trapped in the devastating cycle of poverty and violence, but found their way out.
