Sons of Confederate Veterans attracted somewhere around 250-300 attendees at today--markedly lower energy than even last year, and few young people.

The Stone Mountain Action Coalition is rightly calling for Stone Mountain Park to cancel the upcoming April 29 "Confederate Memorial Day" event:
stonemountainaction.org/cancel

The racist nature of this event is obvious. The keynote speaker for the Sons of Confederate Veterans event is John Weaver, a notorious segregationist preacher.

The SCV's Georgia spokesman is Martin O'Toole, a leader of the white nationalist Charles Martel Society who we have written about previously.

Last year's SCV rally also featured entertainment from a family tied to white supremacist "Christian Identity" circles. The event attracted Sam Dickson, a longtime white power leader and close associate of O'Toole, as well as at least one member of Patriot Front.

For as long as the giant Confederate carvings remain on Stone Mountain, it will attract white supremacist organizers. This in no way excuses Stone Mountain Park's decision to facilitate white supremacist gatherings, which endangers others visiting the park as well as the surrounding community.

Community pressure got the pro-slavery monument removed from Decatur Square. Now we need to focus on removing the Confederate and KKK markers from Stone Mountain. Sign the petition. chng.it/rGmqYNPZkk
