The Stone Mountain Memorial Association has hired Warner Museums, a Birmingham-based company specializing in civil rights installations, to design an exhibit exploring how the "Lost Cause" movement emerged from Southern society's collective memory of slavery and westward expansion. The exhibit will also address the role of organizations like the United Daughters of the Confederacy and the Sons of Confederate Veterans in perpetuating this ideology through monuments, education programs, and racial segregation laws. A small Black community that lived near the mountain after the war will be featured in the exhibit. Georgia's General Assembly allocated $11 million for the project, which includes renovating Memorial Hall.
