AdvertisementMore than a hundred heavily armed Black Panthers descended on the country's largest Confederate monument to demand its removal, while demonstrators burned American flags near Trump Tower as tens of thousands across the country attended Fourth of July protests. Stone Mountain Confederate Memorial, a nine-story-high base-relief sculpture carved into a sprawling rock face northeast of Atlanta, is perhaps the South's most audacious monument to its pro-slavery legacy still intact. An NYPD truck stationed near Trump Hotel played the Star Spangled Banner through speakers afterwards. The New York Police Department said there's an estimated 1,200 orderly protests inundating the city as part of the United New York Fourth of July Rally & March. Similar to New York City, protesters were pictured burning several American flags in defiance of both Trump and prejudice policies.
