From a Montgomery Advertiser story:
Sia Sanneh, a senior attorney at EJI, described the challenges that the organization can encounter when creating new projects as an organization that pushes for rights for Black people.
“After other developers have failed to advance projects in this neighborhood... and I think there have been highly publicized but never realized plans that all of us are aware of," Sanneh said. "We’ve worked directly with the city departments to achieve approval for every department, and as a Black-led organization, I just must say that we frankly encounter lots of obstacles when we’re developing new projects."

Montgomery is a majority-black city with a black mayor. Yet they believe there a lots of obstacles to the EJI?
