Sisterspace and Books (1999 – 2004) By Cassandra Burton
Sisterspace and Books was an African-American woman-owned bookstore and cultural center located on U Street, N.W., for over 10 years. Although Sisterspace specialized in books by and about African-American women, it carried over 2,000 titles by many authors, including out-of-print classics.
As a result of discussions held at Cassandra’s Consignment Boutique, another African-American woman-owned business also located on U Street, Faye Williams established Sisterspace in November 1994 with the intention of providing a safe space and place. The weekly, sometimes daily events included lectures, workshops, book signings, and debates held by a cadre of scholars, activists, and organizers (young and seasoned) from all over the country.
