Giant Confederate leaders carving to stay intact, for now, at Georgia's Stone Mountain

The board overseeing a mountain park near Atlanta that has a giant carving of Confederate leaders voted Monday to relocate Confederate flags from a busy walking trail and create a museum exhibit that acknowledges the site's connection to the Ku Klux Klan. But the board didn't address the carving.

The moves it did make were part of an effort by the Stone Mountain Memorial Association to address criticism of the park's Confederate legacy and shore up its finances. The chairman of the association's board promised more changes. "We've just taken our first step today to where we need to go," the Rev. Abraham Mosley said at a news conference after the vote. Mosley, appointed by Gov. Brian Kemp last month, is the board's first African American chairman.
