10. I was in Atlanta in 1995 for a convention

We had a free day and asked the front desk clerk at our hotel for a good day trip and he mentioned Stone Mountain. We didn’t know it was a confederate monument. Going up in the tram there was a guy screaming white power. I was so uncomfortable being a light skinned woman who could pass for white. I was off that tram so quickly and told my husband he needed to take out son in his stroller off the tram. Up on the top it was hot as hell and I overheard the tour guide give the history of the mountain. We didn’t stay up there long. But I see it would be a perfect reuse of the monument to show the current vile traitors to our country.

That mountain is a perfect representation of fascism and racism history in our country.
