A park with a huge Confederate sculpture was closed on Saturday as demonstrators planned on holding a rally in support of the monument.

City of Stone Mountain and Stone Mountain Park officials rejected at least one request for a permit, and city officials announced Friday that the park “has made the decision to close the park on this day.”
