In the main cities of the country began to create a campaign to increase sales between Thanksgiving and Christmas. But it was in Philadelphia, in 1961, when the police began to coin this term ‘black’ because of the immense traffic congestion that occurred when so many people came to buy at the same time. Already popularized in the mid-70s, the surname of ‘black’ to this Friday also began to be given since that day the accounts of the shops went from being in red (negative) to black (positive).
