THE BLACK HOLIDAY – An Economic Re-Circulation Project

On (TBA)Atlanta consumers are strongly encouraged to exclusively patronize Black owned businesses. The goal of such an economic initiative is to stimulate the re-circulation of the dollar within the community and to educate both consumers and businesses of our collective spending power. Through a full marketing campaign we seek to mobilize black consumers and business owners in the Atlanta metropolitan area towards economic independence. Using Atlanta as a model, The Black Holiday will serve as a catalyst for our long-term goal for consumers nationwide to, "buy black daily."

The Tulsa Initiative, The Black Holiday's historical reference, aligns our current focus with historical examples of Black economic solidarity that reverberate to this day. The Black Wall St. of early 20th century Tulsa,OK is our direct focal point for inspiration and education. Often the target of brash attacks and riots, focused Black economic progressives are ready for a boost of youthful energy now! Therefore, we look to open a new “Black Pages” to legitimate, open-minded, black business owners under the age of 40. Our rooted past must occupy the minds of the moving to best author our living history.

BLACK THOUGHT
To fully expose the varied products and services offered by Black entrepreneurs, the “Black Pages” registry will establish both a digital directory of black businesses with free registration and a hard copy form to be published quarterly. This document will umbrella since established networks and target youthful black enterprise. Also prior to the Black Holiday, are two Black Thought Workshop Weekends provided to mentor younger business on top-notch tactics of operation and the production of products and services of the highest quality. Second, to create an open forum where consumers may voice their concerns with a panel of business owners and community leaders to disseminate support for our positive economic destiny.

Our vision includes tabulation of daily profits generated on The Black Holiday by registered businesses and projected figures if the holidays continue; this is what we can do in February to make the most of our history month. Once reviewed and published, the Black Holiday’s data boasts of unified replication potential in major cities across the country.

We seek the same communal control other groups utilize to determine their destiny. Register your business today and join in the march towards TBH! “The Black Holiday is here, to liberate our peers/ We're so glad to/find ourselves in you!”
