Tonight. You all deserve it!
Families, and good friends, too, all feel emotional, and perhaps physical effects of being the active participants, or very close to those involved in such a momentous, and meticulous endeavor.

NO Rush 👍

What was the first political event (not protest) that you attended involving The Democratic Party...
(just got a "ding, ding" after reading the parties parents threw thread where they sent you to bed. I think the comment about "smoking parties" triggered it)
My uncle living in NYC (vs those in NJ) took me to a indoors event when I was ?15. It was possibly the
Progressives for Humphrey event. I was volunteer campagning for him in the daytime.
It was good but it was so smoke filled I got pretty queasy, and headachy so that blurred out the details.
My best campaign moment from then was riding around on a flatbed truck that was festooned with HHH posters, red, white & blue bunting, balloons and a small band! 😄 We had baskets of flyers, and buttons to give out.
We went from around 50th St down 5th Ave all the way to Herald Sq where we got off in front of Macy's - 34th St entrance and handed out more.
It was luckily a warm & sunny day. 👍
And Take THAT Stone Mountain*! 😄 💙 👍..... ✊**
* for the hose when don't know-
SM is the largest Granite outcrop on the world. 2/3rds of it is underground. Erosion exposed it over millions of years..
Now for the Political/Cultural stuff -
In 1915, a member of the United Daughters of the Confederacy, pushed for Stone Mountain to become a monument to white Southern heroes.
A gigantic bas-relief was carved into it's southern side of Confederate "Heroes" many on horseback.
The KKK announced it's reemergence by burning a cross on the top of the mountain.
😬
from Wiki
"Stone Mountain Park officially opened on April 14, 1965 – 100 years to the day after Lincoln's assassination,[6] although the park had already been in use for a few years"
Holy Shite! 😮 Wooooah, IDK that!
The carving was finally completed in 1972! Idk that either!
Holy crackers... that means ..
I actually have seen it from a distance when I visited an art student friend in Athens, GA who took me to Atlanta in 1975 !!!!! Woah, only 3 yrs after it was finished! 😮
** throws moldy peaches in that direction!
