However, merchants are said to have pressured then-President Flanklin Roosevelt for more days of sale. So it was toured a week before, but the idea did not work and it continued on the original date.

On the other hand, its name refers to the fact that that day the stores stopped having red numbers and obtained higher profits, that is, black numbers.
