US EditionConfederacy Group Sues Georgia Park for Planning an Exhibit on Slavery and Segregation
- Last Tuesday, the Sons of Confederate Veterans filed a lawsuit in DeKalb Superior Court alleging the planned exhibit violates state law by assaulting Confederate memory.
- In 2023, Georgia's $11 million funding for Stone Mountain's exhibit aims to present a balanced history, including KKK ties, with Warner Museums chosen to design it.
- The proposed exhibit features 10 sections, including one on collective memory’s influence, with the lawsuit claiming Warner Museums’ plans exceed legal mandates and responsibilities.
- The lawsuit threatens to delay the two-year renovation and exhibit schedule, with both parties not commenting on potential impacts.
- Beyond the legal dispute, civil rights groups and historians have long criticized Stone Mountain’s lost cause narrative, while the association has moved to de-emphasize Confederate symbols through logo and flag changes.
