Marcus Book Store is the oldest black-owned book store in the nation. Owned by Raye and Julian Richardson, the store’s name pays homage to Marcus Garvey, a charismatic proponent of the Pan-Africanism movement. Located in San Francisco’s Fillmore District, a historically black neighborhood, the book store has long been an inspiration for civic engagement groups pursuing racial equality. The bookstore also has been home to one of Brandeis’ newest professors.
