John,

Last week Ryan Gravel and Scott Morris penned an op-ed about how to remove the largest confederate monument in Georgia. Their recommendation –– let nature take it over.

It may sound crazy - replacing a 150ft mountainside carving with plants, but plant life has existed on Stone Mountain for millions of years, and if we let it, nature will reclaim this granite ball.

I don’t know about you, John, but I would much rather enjoy my hikes at this state park if I could look up and see life-giving, oxygen-producing monadnock vegetation (the ancient variety), instead of a view of hate and oppression.

As a DeKalb County Commissioner, I will work to see changes like this implemented. It is time to move forward into an era of peace and reconciliation.

Sign my petition to remake Stone Mountain Park into a centerpiece of freedom and justice. A better world is possible and together we can make it real.

- Ted

P.S. Watch this recent NBC news story on the history behind this massive monument to hate and a bygone era.
