Civil rights groups and activists have denounced “Soul Fest,” a concert series featuring Black performers, for its questionable choice of setting.
The event is being held at Stone Mountain Park just outside of Atlanta. It happens to be the same park where the Ku Klux Klan marked its rebirth in 1915, and features the largest Confederate monument ever created—a giant mountainside sculpture of Confederate President Jefferson Davis and Generals Robert E. Lee and Thomas J. “Stonewall” Jackson.
Hell, even its precise address is listed as 1000 Robert E. Lee Drive.
