Georgia’s Stone Mountain to relocate Confederate flags and open exhibit on KKK’s connection

Published May 25, 2021 12:00am ET



Board members governing the country’s largest Confederate monument voted Tuesday to relocate the site’s Confederate flags and open a museum exhibit detailing the Ku Klux Klan’s involvement in the creation of the site, which displays a mountainside carving of Confederate officials.

The Stone Mountain Memorial Association, which oversees Georgia’s Stone Mountain Park near Atlanta, will move the flags out of a highly trafficked walking trail after criticism over the site’s memorialization of the Confederacy.
