<br />The birth of the <a href="https://labs.library.vcu.edu/klan/" target="_blank" title="Mapping the Second Ku Klux Klan, 1915 - 1940" rel="noreferrer noopener">second Ku Klux Klan</a> was partly inspired by D. W. Griffith's 1915 film, <a href="https://images.socialwelfare.library.vcu.edu/items/browse?tags=Birth+of+a+Nation" target="_blank" title="materials related to the film's re-release as a "talkie"" rel="noreferrer noopener"><em>The Birth of a Nation</em></a>.<br /><br />The face of Stone Mountain became the site of the Confederate Memorial Carving, the largest bas-relief sculpture in the world. This bas-relief depicts the three Confederate leaders of the Civil War: President Jefferson Davis and Generals Robert E. Lee and Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson. The sculptor was Gutzon Borglum, whose next major project was Mount Rushmore. <br /><br />In his <a href="https://images.socialwelfare.library.vcu.edu/items/show/250" target="_blank" title="SCLC Newsletter" rel="noreferrer noopener">"I Have A Dream" speech</a> (28 August 1963), <a href="https://images.socialwelfare.library.vcu.edu/items/browse?tags=Martin+Luther+King+Jr." target="_blank" title="Items related to MLK, Jr." rel="noreferrer noopener">Martin Luther King, Jr.</a> invoked the imagery of "My Country 'Tis of Thee" saying, <br />
<blockquote>Let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia.<br />Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee.<br />Let freedom ring from every hill and molehill of Mississippi.<br />From every mountainside, let freedom ring. <br /><br /></blockquote>

Title
A name given to the resource
Notice! The Coloured People of the City of Richmond… [broadside]
Description
An account of the resource
This 1866 broadside, issued by members of the African American community in Richmond, intended to clarify their plans to celebrate not the fall of the Confederacy, but rather the first anniversary of emancipation. <br /><br />When Richmond fell into the hands of Union troops, on 3 April 1865, enslaved individuals there effectively were emancipated. The text noted that the black community would commemorate “the day on which GOD was pleased to liberate their long-oppressed race”—emphasizing that their freedom came about as a result of God’s will. <br /><br />In the immediate aftermath of the war, racialized confrontations in Richmond’s streets frequently led to violence, and near-riots. The African American community, while determined to carry out their celebration, clearly intended to preempt potentially violent repercussions. <br /><br />Text: <br /><br />"NOTICE! <br />The coloured people of the City of Richmond would most respectfully inform the public, that <br />THEY DO NOT INTEND <br />to celebrate<br />THE FAILURE OF THE SOUTHERN CONFEDERACY, <br />as it has been stated in the papers of this City, but simply as the day on which GOD was pleased to Liberate their long-oppressed race. <br /><br />C. Harris,<br />J. Cocks, <br />J. Edmunds, <br />F. J. Smith,<br />N. Williams, <br />Committee.<br /><br />Richmond, Va., April 2, 1866"
