Many are the decedents of families who once lived here. The history has long been debt out of the history books. But it is a story of overcoming trials. Slavery, the civil war then at the turn of the century freed slaves establish clear view to be a utopian black society. Where africanamericans could come to buy property, go to college, and live without fear. The idea was that they wanted to start al blacktowns for individuals to move into the state and start a new life. Freedom from the prejudices in the south a free place where they could come and worship on their own. Have an education begin their own education of their own people. And just start anew.

The communist government is taking a very capitalist approach. You are looking at the first and only wholesale market in cuba. Where farmers sell their goods on the open market, where buyers haggle over prices. You might call it capitalism with a cuban touch. It is an experiment, something new and we are in the process of organizing the market. Yes, with ecan say it is a free market, it is available to anyone. Farmers used to lose a lot of money. Because we did not have a place to sell them. Until recently, farmers worked like all cubans as part of the countrys centrally planned economy. But now she says she sells seth of what she grows to private buyers. This time of the year you have mangos, pineapples and plantains they tell uses about 900 farmers groups of farmers and different organizations have registered to sell at this market here. Analyst estimate half a million farmers own or lease land for personal profit. The reforms have inveigh rated.

Just ahead some people call it the mount rush moore of the south be uh what Stone Mountain represented is debatable, we will take you to georgia where some people want to get rid of the monument to the confederacy. Plus his grandfather dropped anatomic bomb, now the grandson is on stand by if the order is ever given again, you will meet him. And a battle is brewing over a major symbol of the old sought. It is the site of an enormous carving now some people want it changed. Robert ray has more. It is a grand pant monument over 800 feet high. Just outside the city, the huge upcropping was the sight of the rebirth of the ku klux klan. When several members of the then secret society gathers there and ignite add flaming cross to proclaim its revival. Ever since then, many have seen the mountain as a symbol of racial hatred. The history is only related to white supremacy. The carving which took nearly 50 careers to complete, depicts jefferson davis, robert e. 3, and thomas stone wall jackson all leaders in the confederacy. Atlanta councilman has proposed keeping the monument but adding history call georgia native like former president jimmy carter and Martin Luther king jr. Georgia is over 280 years old. And yet the con pod rassey was only four years of that, so the confederacy seems to dominate the perception of what is historic georgia and thats far from the case. The group wants the monument completely removes. For people that claim that it is art. That art is not worth another black life. Other the weekend hundreds rallies peacefully in what they call a proconfederate. People can use it for bad or good. It is just a symbol.

And and i am very proud to stand up for my heritage, if these people knew what even this talking about, they would know that the kkk was started by six confederate soldiers. So what is the flag mean to you . It means my heritage, i have fore fathers that have died for this flag. But the kkk means hate. No it does not where do you get this at . Let him go, let him go, the rally is this way folks. The clan member would not give him his maim, and people had him removed but it seems like this that are adding fuel to the debate over all symbols of the confederacy. What they are celebrating is treason against the United States of america. And those people who wave that flag, apparent are not patriots. They say the removal of the carving is not a debate that is useful. But to many black leaders the etching is a symbol of white supremacy, for councilman bond, it is all about compromise. Even though the current memorial doesnt respect me, from a cultural perspective its historical, the confederacy happened. And so its not an attempt i dont think then benefits from erasing or attempting to erase any part of our history. Bond says this debate will be an Election Year issue. And that his proposal offed aing etchings of other figures could take decades to come to fruition. Robert ray, al jazeera. Atlanta.
