New awning, wrought iron benches and signage spruce up Marcus Book Store, 1716 Fillmore St. in San Francisco, founded in 1959 by Dr. Raye Richardson and the late Julian Richardson, Tuskegee Institute alumni who sought to insure that African-Americans write their own literature. After republishing the autobiography of Marcus Garvey, the store was the heart of a revival of black independent literature, boosting the careers of Ernest Gaines, Alice Walker, and Terry McMillan among others. Now run by second and third generation family members, the store occupies a building which once housed Bop City, called by Frank Sinatra America's hippest after-hours joint. The Dr. Carlton B. Goodlett Institute, housed in the building, is developing landmark applications for the building as part of the development of an African-American Freedom Trail. The tradition of African-American literature in San Francisco goes back to the creation of the Athenian Literary Society near Portsmouth Square in 1854 and the first publication of the Lunar Visitor magazine that same year by Rev. John J. Moore.
