NAACP wants removal of Confederate generals from Stone Mountain
STONE MOUNTAIN, Ga. —
The Atlanta chapter of the NAACP officially called for the elimination of all symbols of the Confederacy from Stone Mountain.
This comes on the heels of the removal of the Confederate battle flag from the South Carolina State House.
NAACP’s Richard Rose says the time to move is now, but admits it may be a steep slope to climb.
Channel 2’s Berndt Petersen talked with Yolanda Shackelford, who was chaperoning a group of children from Cobb County on a trip to Stone Mountain.
“When I’m out here, and I have to be honest, when I’m out here enjoying Stone Mountain, I’m thinking about what it has to offer for what I’m coming for,” Shackelford said.
But the Atlanta chapter of the NAACP has a much more serious point of view. More at Source
