ATLANTA — The Confederate flags are still there. All four of them.
They still fly a few hundred paces up Stone Mountain, high atop their poles in a stone plaza, where the hundreds or thousands of people who summit the granite outcropping each day can’t help but plod past.
Some 15 months ago, the state authority that manages Stone Mountain vowed that the flags would be moved to a less visited part of the Georgia park: a relatively simple undertaking as the Stone Mountain Memorial Association made baby steps toward offering a “21st-century perspective” at the home of the world’s largest Confederate monument.
