The organization is formed to: "create and develop grassroots programs that aimed to eliminate the negative impacts of poverty, and racism on the Black community. Inspired by the Black Liberation Movement of the 60’s and 70’s era, their initial activities generated continuous dialogue where Black issues, challenges and concerns played a significant part. Cultural enrichment, education, social change and self-determination were the ultimate intentions of the organization. Through these initiatives, they soon created culturally responsive community arts projects, organizing training and education programs where little or none had previously existed" (SpiritHouse, n.d.).
