More than 100 armed protesters dressed in black marched to Stone Mountain Park in Georgia to stand before the Confederate carving as part of a demonstration against racism.

The group, which calls themselves the Not F—ing Around Coalition, said it wanted to do a demonstration on Saturday in front of the carving of Jefferson Davis, Robert E.

The group also demanded that the carving be removed.
