"To the Editor

I have a question about the Stone Mountain Park Association and the government of the State of Georgia about the proposed statue / monument to Martin Luther King Jr. on top of Stone mountain.


If its O.K. to put a monument to a civil rights leader on top of a Confederate memorial, why isn't it alright to put Confederate memorials on top of Civil Rights Memorials & when can we start?"

On the summit of Stone Mountain, yards away from where Ku Klux Klansmen once burned giant crosses, just above and beyond the behemoth carving of three Confederate heroes, state authorities have agreed to erect a monument to the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. on top of Stone Mountain.

A replica of the Liberty Bell — would celebrate the single line in the civil rights martyr’s 1963 “I Have a Dream” speech that makes reference to the 825-foot-tall hunk of granite: “Let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia.”

  2. Nothing honorable about the people who voted for him: blacks, mexicans, freeloaders,
    illegals, corpses.

      Exactly the opposite.
