Is Time Up For The World's Largest Confederate Monument, Stone Mountain? | NBCLX

Mount Rushmore is surely more famous, but Georgia’s Stone Mountain is bigger.

The massive granite carving stretches 90 feet tall and 190 feet wide. Robert E. Lee is as tall as a nine story building. Jefferson Davis’s thumb is the size of a sofa. Alongside Stonewall Jackson, the three men and their horses comprise the world’s largest Confederate monument located in Stone Mountain, Ga.

Today, Stone Mountain is the latest Confederate monument to come under fire as America reexamines its racist past. NBCLX storyteller Chase Cain visits the mountain for a closer look at the controversy.
