Description An account of the resource This collection is on the history of Monument Avenue. Rather than focusing on each individual monument, this collection aims to present a holistic view of Monument Avenue's development and history. Monument Avenue is located in Richmond, Virginia and is an area embued with controversy due to its former status as the capital of the Confederacy. Richmond, Virgina is just 100 miles south of Washington DC. Following the secession of Virginia and the fall of Fort Sumter at the start of the Civil War, Richmond was designated the capitol of the Confederacy in 1861. The Civil War ended when the city fell to Union forces in April 1865 which signaled the end of the Confederate government as well as Robert E. Lee surrending his army at Appomattox Courthouse shortly after. While most government records were destoyed during the turmoil of evacuation along with a subsequent fire, the city has since become home to various monuments and museums remembering the Confederacy. Beggining with the dedication of the Robert E. Lee statue in 1890, and four additional monuments in the following decades, Monument Avenue quickly developed into the symbolic center of Richmond's Confederate past. Both beloved and despised by different communities of Richmond's diverse population, the battle over Monument Avenue's future continues as citizens debate the meaning and legacy of the Confederacy.

Title A name given to the resource 1. The Construction of Monument Avenue Description An account of the resource During the post-Civil War era, conservative Democrats in the South attempted to revive the fading passions for the Lost Cause. Robert E. Lee’s nephew, Fitzhugh Lee, led the charge to create the Lee Monument Association in 1886. In May 1890 the dedication of the Robert E. Lee monument was timed to coincide with a massive Confederate veterans’ reunion which drew fifty former Confederate generals, fifteen thousand uniformed Confederate veterans, and more than one hundred thousand onlookers. Following the dedication and placement of the Lee monument, statues to both General J.E.B Stuart and the Confederate States President Jefferson Davis followed in 1907. The monument to Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson statue was placed and dedicated in 1919, followed a decade later by the statue dedicated to Matthew Fontaine Maury. An ominous new era of white supremacy had dawned which would last for seven decades, where Edwin J. Slipek stated that Monument Avenue was “more than a Confederate Valhalla.” The construction of Monument Avenue successfully revived the Lost Cause by drawing massive support across the Southern states for whites who touted their Confederate ancestry. Growing power among Southern whites forced African Americans to endure a new kind of abuse, both socially and politically, for another six decades. The success of Monument Avenue represented one of many examples of the revival of the Lost Cause narrative.

The construction of railroad lines connecting Atlanta and other cities such as Augusta through Stone Mountain made the town a prominent visitor attraction in the 1850s. [3] During the Civil War, the Battle of Atlanta (1864) took place near Stone Mountain along the railroad heading west towards Atlanta, a critical campaign in the taking of Georgia by Union troops. [4] The mountain did not gain national attention; however, until the 1910s, when it became the chosen location of what would become the largest Confederate monument in the world. Carved on Stone Mountain is 90 feet high by 190 feet wide, 360 feet square-framed Confederate Memorial carving. [5] The memorial an ode to white southern origins, features the 'three heroes of the American Confederacy,' Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee, and Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson. The memorial took 56 years to complete, from its initial planning in 1915 by the United Daughters of the Confederacy to its completion in 1972. [6] In the years of its construction, the memorial became a site of contention due to the Ku Klux Klan's involvement in the project, developers struggle to fund and complete the carving, and for its cultural meaning. As Grace Hale argues in her book, Making Whiteness, the memorial significance took shape within the peak of its construction. The completion of the monument amidst the civil rights era came to signify a national representation of the lost cause narrative, a symbol of white supremacy. [7] Today, Stone Mountain Park is the most visited attraction in the state of Georgia. The park contains a large, wooded area, two lakes, and various visitor amenities, including a hotel, campground, golf course, and seasonal programming. The park's advertisements illustrate the place as a family-friendly attraction, featuring a Confederate monument and not as a park built around a Confederate monument. [8] In recent years, the park has come into the national spotlight again, as local and national campaign seek the removal of the memorial carving and changes to park’s attractions. [9] The items a part of this collection recounts the idea behind the Stone Mountain monument, the process of carving the mountain, the opening and reception of the memorial carving, and its transformation to the present day.

Title A name given to the resource 3. Stone Mountain Opening and Public Reception Description An account of the resource The Confederate Memorial Carving at Stone Mountain was originally to be unveiled on the centennial of the Civil War in 1961, but the carving was not completed in time.[1] Stone Mountain Park officially opened on April 14, 1965, the centennial of Abraham Lincoln’s assassination.[2] The following Sunday, an estimated 600 people hiked to the top of Stone Mountain for a 5 a.m. Easter service.[3] The official commemoration for the monument was held on May 9,1970 to an anticipated crowd of over 100,000. In attendance were Governor Lester Maddox, U.S. Congressmen Sen. Richard Russell, Sen. Herman Talmadge and Rep. Ben Blackburn, and Vice President Spiro Agnew dedicated the monument (originally scheduled for President Nixon who cancelled due to Vietnam War). Governor representatives from all 50 states accepted invitations in addition to consuls from the Great Britain, Germany, Iceland, Spain, Austria, Switzerland, and South Africa. [4] Public perception of the monument was overwhelmingly positive. Protests to the monument were few. KKK Imperial Wizard James Venable protested unsuccessfully to having Rev. William Holmes Borders give the commemoration benediction because he was “a member of the negro [sic] race” and it “is not in good taste and repugnant to a sense of respect due the memory of the confederates [sic] veterans.”[5] Other protests came from having Agnew dedicate the monument. Public perception was that he had “the grace of a drill sergeant and the understanding of a 19th century prison camp warden” and was in contrast to the “honorable men” on the monument. Despite this, “Southern hospitality” and “a courteous hearing” was to be given by the audience.[6] Other protest came in the monument itself. At a protest with over 800 students following the Kent State shootings, Dr. Eugene Bianchi, religion professor at Emory University, said that civil rights leaders and not “military men riding their steeds” should be carved on Stone Mountain.[7] Stone Mountain has steadily grown into one of Georgia's premiere tourist attractions.
