While white supremacists gathered in a fenced-off, dedicated area, extra law enforcement, including this corrections officer, surround the group to protect them from anti-racism groups that gathered in the area.
Stone Mountain, the Rushmore of the Confederacy and stomping grounds of the Ku Klux Klan since the early 1900s, is often the site of pro-white supremacy rallies and gatherings. In the last few years, these white supremacist groups have been outnumbered by anti-racism groups every time they gather and pressure has been mounting for the park to remove the pro-Confederacy relief carving on the face of the granite slab for which the park is named.

Skinheads Against Racial Prejudice attended to support anti-racism groups.

In anticipation of counter-protestors, addition law enforcement, including corrections officers and reserve guard officers were brought in to assist Stone Mountain police.

Anti-racism groups, including churches and non-profit organizers, rallied the counter-protestors to drown out the white nationalist groups.

At the end of the gathering, with the police and law enforcement dispersed, the two groups engaged in some heated words, but no violence.
