Political Rewind: Stone Mountain Board Revisits Park's Take On History; Ga. Ballot Recount Again
Monday on Political Rewind:\xa0The Stone Mountain Memorial Association meets today to discuss how\xa0to reshape the park's telling of Confederate history. Memorials at the park for decades have\xa0celebrated Lost Cause mythology; a view of history casting the Confederacy\xa0in a benevolent light.\n\nThe association's new CEO, Bill Stephens, said\xa0it is\xa0time to tell the whole truth about the longtime memorial to Confederate history, especially about the controversial carving on the mountain\u2019s face.\n\nAlso: A\xa0Superior Court judge ordered\xa0another recount of 2020 presidential ballots in Fulton County last week. Henry County judge Brian Amero granted a request to scan and examine 145,000 absentee ballots. This will be the fourth review of Georgia votes cast in the 2020 election.\nPanelists:\n\nDr. Amy Steigerwalt \u2014 Professor of Political Science, Georgia State University\n\nProf. Fred Smith \u2014 Professor of Constitutional Law, Emory University\n\nDr. Alan Abramowitz \u2014 Professor of Political Science, Emory University\n\nJim Galloway \u2014 Journalist and Former Columnist, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
