marcus was born august 17, 1887. he gave us his identity and he hooked united states up with our motherland african where we found out we all came from. okay. and that history in that store is where children can learn. not only ourselves but yourselves too. it's worth saving. redevelopment was tearing - >> thank you. next speaker. . i live in the western edition. marcus books needs to stay in fillmore. i grew up and was living in chinatown. it looks different from chinatown but right now, i'm living in the west edition are i see that fill more is very much different than when i was the. there's hardly any remedy in advance of a black business are the chicago barber shop is gone and this is the last black business to the past. i'm also my immediate issue is housing affordability but i see that horrify but i need to - i need to empower those folks and marcus books provides that kind of presence. i saw the spirit and it's different having the children walking in there and that's different for the black communities in th

johnson i'm co- owner of the marcus bookstore. we're appreciative of the support we've gained throughout the world. having san francisco city and county support is the optimum to say the least. it gives us a feeling as the caretakers of a legacy business that there is respect there is recognition of the long and hard work that has been accomplished by the dr. julian and ray richardson. again, we're nothing more than caretakers of this legacy business. the intent is to remain at the location since 1981 we want to recatch the building on behalf of the community. the reason i stood up was to say the building belongs to the community. i'm 67-year-old i'm a producing product of san francisco city and county as a matter of fact, i spent 35 years working as an employee for the county of public health and rose to a administrative level. we appreciate everyone the commission members, supervisor breed and everyone else who has come to our support important we're not here to beg or ask for salvation but redemption. again beside me is my love

i can tell you about marcus books. i've had a wonderful history i can tell you some things about june i can't tell richardson. we have a wonderful relationship but i want to tell you about some history this buildings was slanted e slides to be torn down and some gentleman showed up and decided he was going to buy r buy the buildings and move forward them to fisherman's wharf. we started screaming why can't we have historic buildings in the fillmore. so the redevelopment agency was going to let him cut off the facade and slap them on the building and that would be victorian. we were able to stop the community created the victorian village. we came up with the african-american community there were 10 buildings involved and everyone of the original owners was african-american. over time and difficulty this has changed. you heard the gentleman say that most of the icons of the african-american people are gone from fillmore now. it reminds me of slavery they bring you here to do their bidding and want to wipeout the evidenc

wanted to learn more i had to go to marcus books. they were friends with ralph alison i should have asked for questions. marcus books is kind of the last business in the western edition is represents with a small business was like post 1950. i'd like to thank mary and stacey but i'm not opposed to the report but i wanted to see if i could indulge my fellow commissioners. i don't see the connects between the japanese-american and the african-american community after world war ii. the people of japanese people came back to the community particularly on fillmore street and they were weren't shunned they were welcomed back and during this period of significant from 1950 to 19 you only saw an african-american business or a japanese-american business along fillmore there was no ralph lawyer republican. i think it's important for us who live in 2013 to recognize and remember the fillmore of that day without that history we can't respect it. but i want to say that marcus books and it's current owners were not only the leaders 90 for the afri

what's your main question once again for marcus. >> the main question for marcus is as a growing brandf opportunity to come our way that could bring capital but might not be the smartest move for the long-term growth of the brand. realistically the question kind of is how important is keeping the cool in your brand as you're an up-and-coming brand or is it worth to go after that immediate capital available right in front of you? >> what i want you guys to do is stay very focused on what you're doing today, four things i want to see. i want you to pick a symbol for your business, kind of an iconic symbol that you cannot only put on all your products but license out. two, you need another store, doesn't need to be a big store, but in order to spread the word people have to find out about it. i think third and most importantly you're going to need to bring in some investors but investors that believe in what your story is and aren't always looking for the quick return or the high yield, and i think last and most importantly you have to stay true to yourself. you may not make $1 million ne
