SOUTH FULTON, Ga. — The city of South Fulton has created a commission tasked with identifying structures and roads whose names have ties to the Confederacy.
According to a release, as part of the commission, an eight-member task force will work with a "historical preservation committee," to identify these structures around the city.
Examples could include public streets, buildings, parks, and bridges associated with Confederate figures or representative of Confederate ideals.
