SEE EVENT DETAILS
Support Marcus Books, a bookstore in the community for 53 years offering books "by and about Black people everywhere." Marcus Books opened in 1960, growing from a business for printing established in 1947. Marcus Books supported emerging Civil Rights authors during the 60's and launched many events for women authors during the 70's. In addition to being a literary cornerstone for Black authors and the community, Marcus Books has been at the forefront of assisting residents in the area with economic and neighborhood initiatives.
