In 2021, the Stone Mountain Memorial Association agreed to install an exhibit about the park’s history, including Ku Klux Klan cross-burnings.

Construction for the new exhibit is underway, but the Georgia Division of the Sons of Confederate Veterans is suing to stop it.

On this week’s episode of “Plugged In,” hosts Sam Gringlas and Rahul Bali discuss how the Confederate group is using a state law to challenge the planned exhibit, which aims to tell a broader story about Stone Mountain.
