STONE MOUNTAIN, Ga. -- Stone Mountain’s Confederate carving became an issue in the governor’s race on July 4, with the Atlanta NAACP chapter organizing a rally to call for the carving’s removal.
The rally was set to begin around 7 am on Independence Day, even though Stone Mountain Park didn't officially open to visitors until 10:30 am.The group snapped a photo when they made it to the top of the mountain.

ReplyDeleteMight be overdoing it. :)
DeleteThey did it before the park opened. They had season passes to get in before hours. The park will let season pass holders in as early as 6am so joggers can get their workout in before having to go to work. The park is a private ownership park and prohibits firearms.
ReplyDeleteI just searched and it said the state bought it in 1958 and they have 4,000,000 paying customers each year.
DeleteThis makes me want to relocate there, just so I can vote to keep the thing up.
DeletePretty ironic for those 3 heroes to be viewed as hateful today, compared with Sherman, Grant, and Lincoln.
