The Georgia chapter of a Confederacy group filed a lawsuit Tuesday against a state park with the largest Confederate monument in the country, arguing officials broke state law by planning an exhibit on ties to slavery, segregation and white supremacy. Stone Mountain’s massive carving depicts Confederate President Jefferson Davis, Gen. Robert E. Lee and Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson on horseback … State law protects the carving from any changes … Sons of the Confederate Veterans members have defended the carvings as honoring Confederate soldiers. The new exhibit would “completely repurpose the Stone Mountain Memorial Park” and “utterly ignore the purpose of the Georgia legislature in creating and maintaining” the park, the lawsuit says.
