Honoring Lynchburg's African American History

On February 23, Lynchburg City Council requested staff begin the process of gathering public input regarding how to best honor the rich history and contributions of Lynchburg's African American citizens. This survey is one of several methods the City will use to gather citizen input. The first section of the survey relates to the naming of Fifth Street. The second section is open-ended and intended to gather ideas and suggestions about other ways to commemorate and honor Lynchburg's African American history. The results of this survey, as well as other information, will be compiled and presented to City Council at a later date. Thank you for participating. The deadline for participating in the survey is April 23, 2021.
