Save Marcus Books, soul of San Francisco, oldest Black book store in US!
June 15, 2013
Marcus Book Store, at 1712 Fillmore St., San Francisco, is packed with knowledge it has purveyed since 1960, for 53 years. Now the oldest Black book store in the country has been ordered out. After strong turnouts Sunday at St. Nicholas Church, where the Sweises are deacon and subdeacon, and at the meeting today, the decision is that Marcus Books will not be moved, not now anyway. Come to the press conference at the store Saturday, June 22, 12-3 p.m. Spread the word! “When folks begin to attack our cultural institutions, they attack our very existence,” says Ed Donaldson. This is “an assault on this community,” says Rev. Arnold Townsend.
