An open letter to Stone Mountain Park’s next management company

 Via Carl

We are the Stone Mountain Action Coalition (SMAC), a group of concerned citizens and community leaders interested in the future of Georgia’s Stone Mountain Park. We are among the Park’s strongest supporters and advocates for its tremendous potential.

As Georgia taxpayers continue to support the Park financially, we are invested– literally, and want nothing more but to see it succeed. However, the Park’s Confederate theme has greatly tarnished the Park’s image and diminished its visitor pool. With a new management company, Stone Mountain Park has the opportunity to begin anew. We envision a Park that portrays an accurate depiction of history and reflects the values of Georgia and Metro Atlanta’s diverse community. We are eager to work with an incoming management company interested in transforming the Park from a Confederate shrine with the world’s largest Confederate Memorial, into a landscape of racial reconciliation and a symbol of peace.
