  • James Venable, May 1982
    2012.3.3 “I Remember Hour” The DeKalb History Center James Venable May 28, 1982 JAMES MACKAY, Interviewer: All right, today is August the 28th, 1982, and we are videotaping a very well-known and outstanding lawyer in our county for the records of the DeKalb Historical Society. Mr. Howard Worley, who is making this tape for us [sic]. Now, we have one hour, and I’m going to present to you here Mr. Jimmy Venable, and I want him to range over his whole life and times here in the county. And I think a good beginning point is that since this county is just 160 years old and everybody except the native Indians has come into this county, tell me something about the background of your family, Mr. Venable, and how they happened to come to DeKalb County and where you were born and that sort of thing. JAMES VENABLE: Well, my ancestors settled in Richmond, Virginia, in 1683. Captain John Venable and Abram Venable played a very prominent part in the Revolution, the war between England and the colonies. And I had a great-great uncle who was a professor who taught Greek in the University of Virginia, and during the Revolutionary War my ancestors conscripted the ox teams and the neighbors there to aid the colonies during the bloody conflict, and after the revolution had ceased the war, they were sued, and Patrick Henry defended them in the lawsuit and won it. A few years thereafter, five of them settled over in Jefferson, Georgia. In 1842 James Venable, whom I’m named after, was the first man in the world to submit himself as a guinea pig for Dr.

  • FLN Networker No. 64: September 23, 2010
    FLN Networker No. 64: September 23, 2010 The FLN Networker is a publication of the US Fire Learning Network, intended to foster communication within the network and among its friends. Please submit comments about the newsletter or items for inclusion to Liz Rank. For more information on the USFLN, please visit http://www.tncfire.org/training_usfln.htm or contact Lynn Decker. News: Jemez Tour / Burning Red Cedar / FLN at Conferences The Jemez Climate Change Adaptation Project is part of a week-long international climate exchange study tour taking place this week. The tour, co-sponsored by the Forest Service, Comision Nacional de Areas Naturales Protegidas and the Fonda Mexicano para la Conservación de la Naturaleza, will allow managers from the US and Mexico to share strategies and lessons learned in their respective protected areas. The Jemez portion of the tour will include discussion of restoration on a large scale, and a visit to a carbon flux monitoring tower. In his weekly “Friday message” (attached), Nebraska State Conservationist Steve Chick gave kudos to Middle Niobrara Coordinating Wildlife Biologist Sandy Benson for coordinating a series of successful prescribed burns to manage red cedar. As is the case with much of the Great Plains FLN’s work, volunteer fire departments and private landowners were key partners. Marek Smith is on the program of the Southern Appalachian Man & the Biosphere (SAMAB) conference being held in Gatlinburg, TN on November 16-18. The conference will focus on climate change and on-the-ground means for addressing it in the southern Appalachians. Marek will discuss the work of both the Appalachian and Southern Blue Ridge FLNs.

  • Geologic Guide to Stone Mountain Park
    GEOLOGIC GUIDE TO STONE MOUNTAIN PARK by Robert L. Atkins and Lisa G. Joyce Georgia Department of Natural Resources Georgia Geologic Survey GEOLOGIC GUIDE 4 Common Misconceptions About Stone Mountain An average of four million people visit Stone Mountain Park each year. Very little geologic information is available to these visitors. With this lack of information, some misconceptions have developed concerning Stone Moun­ tain and the granite named after the mountain. Several of these misconcep­ tions are discussed below. MYTH 1: Stone Mountai n granite underlies half of Georgia, all of Geor­ gia, three states, seven states, etc. FACT: The Stone Mountain Granite is a relatively small unit. It extends northward to U.S. 78, southward to the park boundary, and its western contact lies within the park limits. It extends eastward towards C enterville (see Geologic Map of the Stone Mountain Area, p. 12-13). MYTH 2: Stone Mountain is the largest exposed granite outcrop in the world. FACT: Stone Mountain's size is quite inspiring. It probably is the largest granite dome east of the Mississippi River, as it rises approxi­ mately 750 feet (ft) above the surrounding topography; how­ ever, it is not the largest dome in the world. Many granite domes in the Sierras in the western United States are larger. MYTH 3: Stone Mountain is 300 million years old. FACT: The granite that forms Stone Mountain is approximately 300 million years old, but the mountain itself has only been exposed for approximately 15 million years. MYTH 4: Stone Mountain used to be a volcano. FACT: Although Stone Mountain Granite, like all other granites, is igneous in origin, it was formed quite differently from a volcano.

  • Memorandum of Law in Support of Changes to Stone Mountain Park
    Memorandum of Law in Support of Changes to Stone Mountain Park To: Whom It May Concern From: Stone Mountain Action Coalition Date: October 15, 2020 During public discourse regarding the legal entanglement between the Confederacy and Stone Mountain Park (the “Park”), some have argued that the Stone Mountain Memorial Association (“SMMA” or the “Board”) is powerless to make changes to the Park, claiming that the Board’s “hands are tied by the law.” To the contrary, the Board has discretion to make changes under current Georgia state law. Indeed, all boards created by law have discretion. Absent discretion, such entities would be powerless to take actions pursuant to their statutory mandates. Here, that discretion is front and center, listed in the code among the three primary purposes of the SMMA: (1) To preserve the natural areas situated within the Stone Mountain Park area; (2) To provide access to Stone Mountain for Georgia's citizens; and (3) To maintain an appropriate and suitable memorial for the Confederacy. See O.C.G.A. § 12-3-192.1 (emphasis added) (the complete “Stone Mountain Memorial Act,” O.C.G.A. § 12-3-190, et seq. is attached as Exhibit “A”). Thus, the General Assembly explicitly granted the Board discretion as to what is an “appropriate and suitable” memorial to the Confederacy. Page 1 of 11 I.

The history of Stone Mountain Park and the SMMA underscores the urgent need to make changes at the Park.

  • A Condensed History of the Stone Mountain Carving
    A Condensed History of the Stone Mountain Carving Copyright © 2017 Atlanta Historical Society, Inc. Atlanta History Center 130 West Paces Ferry Road NW Atlanta, Georgia, 30305. www.atlantahistorycenter.com Executive Summary: Condensed History of the Stone Mountain Carving The carving on the side of Stone Mountain has a controversial history that involves strong connections to white supremacy, Confederate Lost Cause mythology, and anti-Civil Rights sentiments. From the beginning of efforts to create the carving in 1914, early proponents of the carving had strong connections to the Ku Klux Klan and openly supported Klan politics. Helen Plane, leader of the United Daughters of the Confederacy and credited with beginning efforts to create the initial carving, openly praised the Klan and even proposed Klansmen be incorporated in the carving. Sam Venable, owner of Stone Mountain, sanctioned Klan meetings on the mountain and remained highly involved with the group for many years. These are just a two of the early carving proponents involved with the white supremacist organization- the carver, Gutzon Borglum, and others were also involved. Given the influence of white supremacists, the Stone Mountain carving effort carried with it Confederate Lost Cause sentiments from its beginning. Efforts at rewriting Confederate history as a moral victory and pining for the supposedly morally superior society of the romanticized Old South were at the center of the motivations behind the carving. Although the carving was not again pursued after the collapse of the initial effort until half a century after it was begun, Lost Cause sentiments remained. Governor Marvin Griffin, an overt supporter of segregation, promised to resume the carving if elected during his campaign for governor.
