Georgia Closes Park with Confederate Sculpture

VOA News

   A park in the southern U.S. state of Georgia is not opening Saturday
   because of a planned right-wing rally.

   Pro-Confederate, white supremacists and other right-wing groups had
   called for the rally, following a peaceful demonstration by a Black
   militia at the park last month.

   Stone Moutain Park, in suburban Atlanta, feared a violent confrontation
   between the two groups, after the Black militia group called for a
   counter-demonstration.
