What is Black Friday? (History)
The term “Black Friday” was coined in the 1960s to mark the kickoff of the Christmas shopping season.
“Black” refers to stores moving from the “red” to the “black,” back when accounting records were kept by hand, and red ink indicated a loss and black a profit.
Ever since the start of the modern Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in 1924, the Friday after Thanksgiving has been known as the unofficial start to a bustling holiday shopping season.
