Comment on Atlantans petition to get Outkast on Stone Mountain to offset that massive Confederate sculpture

Atlantans petition to get Outkast on Stone Mountain to offset that massive Confederate sculpture

Earlier this week, Atlanta's chapter of the NAACP called for the obliteration — by whatever means necessary — of a giant carving which depicts three Confederate leaders and resides on Georgia's Stone Mountain. "Those guys need to go," the NAACP's Atlanta branch President Richard Rose told WSB. "They can be sand-blasted off, or somebody could carefully remove a slab of that and auction it off to the highest bidder." One Atlanta resident, or ATLien rather, recognizes that it may be somewhat impractical to completely demolish the 90-by-190 foot tall relief, which is both a significant marker of history and an impressive work of art.
