The south Georgia city of Cordele is moving forward with plans to move its Confederate monument — the decision coming after 8,000 residents signed a petition and the election of a new city commission last November.

The state board that oversees Stone Mountain Park voted Monday to tone down its Confederate imagery but stay in keeping with a state law prohibiting the removal of historic monuments from public property.

Proposals to add historical context around the Confederate carving at Stone Mountain are set to face a vote Monday amid calls to remove the controversial monument and backlash from its supporters.

Gov. Brian Kemp has appointed the first African-American to lead the Stone Mountain Memorial Association. The Rev. Abraham Mosley of Athens will chair a state board that has come under growing pressure from civil rights groups to reduce the presence of Confederate imagery at a park that houses the world’s largest Confederate monument.

The Brunswick City Commission voted Wednesday evening to remove a statue of a  Confederate soldier from Hanover Square but not until legal disputes in other cities that have moved Civil War monuments have been resolved.
