Standing Flowers
Stone Mountain, GA is the birthplace of the modern KKK and a continued site of historical importance for the Klan. The carvings of Confederate generals on the side of the mountain were commissioned by white supremacists as a testament to the values of the Old South.
On February 2, 2019, the Ku Klux Klan were planning a white power rally to spread their message of hate at Stone Mountain Park. Although the park denied them a permit they still decide to have the even at the park. Organizations such as F.L.O.W.E.R. (Front Line Organization Working to End Racism) decided to reach out to their followers on social media to organize a protest against the KKK at the park. The day of the rally the Stone Mountain Park decided to close the park down for the day not wanting there to be any protest there. F.L.O.W.E.R. decided that this would not stop them and their followers from standing up and having a peaceful protest in the neighboring town to Stone Mountain.
