In the past, Stone Mountain had been a habitual meeting place for the Ku Klux Klan. When the clan burned a cross on the summit, the fire could be seen in Atlanta, and the Klan had even planned to have the face of the mountain carved into a likeness of Robert E. Lee. This fell through, and the sculptor eventually took on the less dubious task of carving Mount Rushmore.
