An advocacy group hoping to preserve the history of Confederate monuments through a string of lawsuits is starting to make headway in the state courts and now has been granted the opportunity to litigate before the Georgia Supreme Court.
That court has granted writ of certiorari to the Sons of Confederate Veterans in a case filed against the city of Decatur, hoping to reverse a 2020 order to remove a monument from the city square. After failures at both the district and appellate level, the Supreme Court gave it the green light after a partial reversal of a related case.
