Lawmakers in Georgia are once again trying to remove the “memorial” designation from the state’s largest shrine to the Confederacy.
State Rep. Billy Mitchell, a Democrat from Stone Mountain and one of the chief sponsors of the bill, said Monday in a press release that legislators want to implement "needed changes to the false history of the park and the carving."
Rep. Mary Margaret Oliver , another co-sponsor of the bill, said the park is an "important asset for our county" and needs to change its course of "honoring the Confederacy and adherence to a 'Lost cause.'"
