Repairing homes from tornado damage follows a hierarchy of needs.
DANVILLE, Va. (AP) — Just east of the National Cemetery on Lee Street lies a rolling green expanse of hills dotted with grave stones.
The goal of the project started in August 2021 is to collect and document a history of the cemetery and those buried there. Danville officials hope to beautify the old cemetery and add kiosks and historic markers for visitors.
Known as the Freedman Cemetery, the city's nearly 8-acre, first Black cemetery dating back at least 160 years is being examined by the city of Danville for identification of unmarked graves.
