Confederate Memorial Carving
The Confederate Memorial Carving is a large sculpture located in Stone Mountain, Georgia. It features the figures of Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee, and Stonewall Jackson, prominent leaders of the Confederate States of America during the American Civil War. The carving, which is one of the largest bas-relief sculptures in the world, was completed in 1972 and is part of a larger park that attracts many visitors.
The project began in the 1920s but faced numerous delays and changes in leadership. The carving is approximately 90 feet wide and 190 feet tall, and it is carved into the granite face of Stone Mountain. The site has been a focal point for discussions about Confederate symbols and their meanings in American history.
