A group organizing a Stone Mountain, Georgia exhibition that will educate visitors on the history of slavery in the area is being sued by a confederacy group, according to Capital B News. 

With $11 million in funding given by Georgia's General Assembly in 2023, the Stone Mountain Memorial Association commissioned Warner Museums to create a "Truth Telling" facility. 

“We’ve just taken our first step today to where we need to go,” the Rev. Abraham Mosley shared in 2021 during a news conference. 

“The interpretive themes developed for Stone Mountain will explore how the collective memory created by Southerners in response to the real and imagined threats to the very foundation of Southern society, the institution of slavery, by westward expansion, a destructive war, and eventual military defeat, was fertile ground for the development of the Lost Cause movement amidst the social and economic disruptions that followed,” the exhibit proposal says, according to Capital B News.

However, their plan, which indicated that it aimed to remove Confederate emblems, contextualize the Confederacy, and attract new guests, drew criticism from the group last week.

According to the Associated Press, the Georgia Division of the Sons of Confederate Veterans filed a complaint against the state park last Tuesday, alleging that administrators violated state law by organizing an exhibit on slavery, segregation, and white supremacy.

Georgia Code 50-3-1(b)(3) specifies that no publicly owned monument on State of Georgia land may be relocated, removed, or concealed. According to the Georgia mandate (12-3-192.1), the Stone Mountain Memorial Association's mission is to "maintain an appropriate and suitable memory for the Confederacy.”
