AUBURN â The DeKalb County Commissioners Monday turned down a request to hold a âRally for Reconciliationâ on the DeKalb County Courthouse lawn.
Zach Heimach of Auburn had requested using the lawn for the gathering, planned for April 24. The commissioners noted that while they would not approve holding an event on the lawn, the downtown Auburn sidewalks are not part of the courthouse.
Heimach said the event would be designed to allow local citizens to reconcile with history and take an honest look at the past.
His gathering would include classic American readings about what it means to be an American.
