Back in his community-organizing days, Barack Obama would have been the one
fighting to save historic public parks from developers. Today, the 44th
president finds himself on the other side of the underserved communities he
once championed.

Grass-roots activists, conservationists and academics on Chicago’s South
Side say the Obama Presidential Center, as currently planned, does not do
enough to benefit neighborhoods badly in need of economic revitalization.
The Obama Foundation rejected a proposed Washington Park site that would
have made the center easily accessible through public transportation,
opting instead for a lush Jackson Park location that overlooks Lake
Michigan.
