Small Businesses Make Most of Annual Day

by Hamil R. Harris November 28, 2018October 31, 2020

For many, the Friday after Thanksgiving is a time to rummage through shelves in big-box stores in search of bargains. But for those who came into the 6200 block of Third Street Northwest on Black Friday this year, they had the opportunity to stroll through a vintage shopping strip lined with African-American merchants who have a proud heritage.

Theresa Oliphant, Charlotte, North Carolina No, I didn't participate in Black Friday or Cyber Monday, because I feel that in my older age, there is more to me than just shopping. I used to be a big Black Friday shopper, but it's just not something that I'm interested in anymore. Plus, things are so dangerous now. I prefer to online shop anyway, but it doesn't necessarily have to be on Cyber Monday.
