The Spirit Of W Street builds on the richness and historic value that African Americans have added to the Washington, D.C. Community. The building was built in 1908 and has undergone the processes of true Washingtonian history. We knew that change was necessary in order to polish this diamond in the heart of Our Community, We all have places that matter to us—places that define us, places that challenge us, places that bring us together and tell our story. These places help form our identity and our communities. They create opportunities for growth and help us feel at home. They explain our past and serve as the foundation of our future.
The Spirit Of W Street contributes strong community values, and dedicated hard work which helps to create the positive characteristics, neighborly connections and a positive social identity in all of our members. Each cooperative member contributes to the sustainability, sound economy, creativity, diversity and well being of our community. We know that this gives people the psychological and sociological sense of stability that they need in an ever-changing world.
The Spirit Of W Street focus is on the value systems that have protected and preserved the African American community culture; and facilitated our true spiritual expression; ensured harmony in our social relations; prepared our community to meet our responsibilities as strong members of our rich culture; and sustained the continuity of African American life over successive generations in Washington, DC
