Stone Mountain residents oppose Confederate monument plans
(ATL Press Collective) – (Watch for the leftist weaseling in this article over something as innocuous as the location of the historical marker that they term a ‘monument’ – DD)
Controversy over a city cemetery in Stone Mountain is once again exposing a long and unresolved community struggle against neo-Confederate and far-right forces. On Feb. 5, several Confederate monuments in a Stone Mountain cemetery were tagged with blood-red paint in an alleged act of “vandalism,” according to a press release by city manager Shawn Edmondson.
The alleged vandalism occurred as Stone Mountain’s City Council has been considering a proposal by council member Theresa Crowe to relocate a Confederate historical marker from the cemetery to a more prominent location at the intersection of Silver Hill Road and East Ponce De Leon Avenue. The proposal has alarmed many in the 70% African American municipality of Stone Mountain. “There was no reason given,” says former City Councilmember Clint Monroe, “other than they want it in a more prominent place because they want to do Confederate tourism.”
