The two-story building and 5.1 acres of land is located in one of the most historic neighborhoods for African American history in the City of Atlanta.

This program connects legal and advocacy work and movement lawyers with grassroots organizations, focused on immigrants rights and defending Muslim communities. Through meaningful partnerships with universities, law schools, law firms, and organizations with legal strategies, Project South grows the legal infrastructure for social justice in the South.(iii)Fiscal Sponsorships:Fiscal Sponsorships: With wrap-around strategic supports, fiscal sponsorships, fellowships, workshops, and facilitation consults with predominantly Black-led and frontline organizations in the U.S. South and beyond.
