The Martin Luther King Memorial
U.S. Rep. John Lewis listens to the finer points of quarrying granite from Angela Fortson, owner of Southeastern Granite Company, as he toured an exhibit in 2007 on the history of quarrying at Stone Mountain Park. Lewis and others involved in a national memorial to Martin Luther King Jr. in Washington, D.C. wanted to construct it with granite from Stone Mountain. It is reportedly being made out of granite from China. Michelle Hiskey/AJC
