LeDroit Park is a Historic District that was once a gated and whites-only community. It became a major cultural focal point for African-Americans in the early 1900s due in large part to the work of student activists from nearby Howard University.

One of LeDroit Park’s most famous residents was Anna J. Cooper, “the mother of Black Feminism”. Anna J. Cooper also served as a teacher and principal at DC’s M Street High School.
