Camille Bennett, @staywokesouth founder, grew frustrated with Florence, Alabama, city leaders for not removing a Confederate statue. Activists like her face ongoing resistance, showing the lingering legacy of the "Lost Cause" myth. #WeekendRead: bit.ly/3MsdxxW

"Like my mentor John Lewis always said, 'When you see something that isn’t right, you must say something.' It’s not just a responsibility; it's a moral imperative to speak truth to power. I am proud to say that the relentless work of activists has sparked real change in Georgia. Seeing a monument of John Lewis stand where a Confederate monument once stood is a powerful testament to that change.@ #TakeDownHate #gapol #GoodTrouble video credit @wsbtv and @NBCNews – at Georgia, USA

In Georgia, preserving the Confederate carvings on #StoneMountain is allowed, but teaching AP African American Studies is not. Let that sink in for a minute. #gapol – at Georgia, USA

The SPLC's message to #StoneMountain Memorial Association 🗣️ It's time to turn away from glorifying the Confederacy!
