From the Google Alerts for August 26, 2016, for Confederate.
** Critics assail Atlanta park named for Confederate soldier. (Loss) The park in question is Mims Park. It was named for Livingston Mims, mayor of Atlanta in 1900, who was also a major in the Confederate Army. His descendants donated some of the land for the park which is now overgrown and in bad shape.
Atlanta's current mayor, Kasim Reed, a black man, says the park will be rehabilitated and likely will get a new name.
Perhaps Name It BLM Park or the Reed Parl? --Old Secesh
