Many are impatiently waiting for black Friday to commence, but do we really care to find out the history behind it commencement or its origin, fleek.ng  has taken time out to review Wikipedia to break it down for yall.

The earliest known use of “Black Friday” to refer to the day after Thanksgiving occurs. Here it referred to the practice of workers calling in sick on the day after Thanksgiving in order to have a four-day weekend. However, this use does not appear to have caught on. Around the same time, the terms “Black Friday” and “Black Saturday” came to be used by the police in Philadelphia and Rochester to describe the crowds and traffic congestion accompanying the start of the Christmas shopping season. In 1961, the city and merchants of Philadelphia attempted to improve conditions, and a public relations expert recommended re-branding the days, “Big Friday” and “Big Saturday”; but these terms were quickly forgotten.

The earliest evidence of the phrase Black Friday applied to the day after Thanksgiving in a shopping context suggests that the term originated in Philadelphia, where it was used to describe the heavy and disruptive pedestrian and vehicle traffic that would occur on the day after Thanksgiving. This usage dates to at least 1961.

The factor in the diminishing importance of Black Friday, as many retailers now spread out their promotions over the entire months of November and December rather than concentrate them on a single shopping day or weekend. Source Wikipedia.
