"Around 100 people had already arrived at Stone Mountain Park for a rally celebrating the Confederate flag by around 9:45 a.m. Saturday, and traffic on nearby I-285 and U.S. 78 was backed up for miles.
Caravans from all over Georgia bore unwavering rebel flags as they streamed into the park’s Yellow Daisy parking lot for the day-long event, which approximately 1,000 people are expected to attend..."

If this rally is a success, I imagine it will spread throughout the entire south. If we get one a little closer than 9 hours away, I can promise you'll see my husband and me there. Taking our flag, and attempting to varnish our southern pride ,with hateful accusations that was brought on by the ignorance of rebel rousers and attention seekers makes my stomach turn. And I'm not alone. You don't simply walk into the south and try to change us. And that flag is an important part of who we are.
