Black organizations calling for “Black-Out” on Black Friday

Several Black organizations, including the National Coalition of Blacks for Reparations in America, the United Negro Improvement Association and the Malcolm X Grassroots Movement, are calling for Blacks not to spend money on Black Friday. The organizations cite the continued mistreatment of Blacks in America in instances such as the Trayvon Martin case, the false imprisonment of Mumia Abu-Jamal and the execution of Troy Davis. The groups are also encouraging Blacks to circulate Black dollars back into communities and for empowerment.
