I learned something today. I love days like that.
I always thought the day after Thanksgiving was called “Black Friday” because it was the day the retail world moved into the black — i.e., into profit.
Wrong. Sort of.
The true history is much darker and more complex and has little to do with retailers’ profits. But, like many things in our collective and personal histories, revisionist history has taken over.
Yet another reminder that truth and reality are not always the same.
