Sons of Confederate Veterans oppose monument to 'Michael' Luther King Jr.? Wait, what?
Maybe you meant Martin Luther King, Jr.?
“Monuments to either Michael King or soldiers of any color who fought against the Confederacy would be a violation of the purpose for which the park was created and exists. The erection of a monument to anything other than the Confederate Cause being placed on top of Stone Mountain because of the objections of opponents of Georgia’s Confederate heritage would be akin to the state flying a Confederate battle flag atop the King Center in Atlanta against the wishes of King supporters."
? -The Georgia chapter of the Sons of Confederate Veterans said Monday in a statement to the AJC that tentative plans to erect a bell tower atop Stone Mountain in memory of Martin Luther King Jr. speech could be met with legal action. After wrongly stating King's name, the group said such an installation would violate the state's memorial preservation laws.
