On Monday, a Black Lives Matter billboard was installed along U.S. 64 Business Route East toward Pittsboro thanks to an online fundraiser. According to a GoFundMe post by a user called L C, they started the fundraiser to put a message on an empty billboard located directly next to a Confederate flag erected on private property. Since the page was started in mid-June, more than 200 donors have contributed to the effort. As donations near $10,000, the organizer now says they have funds to pay for another six months of its Black Lives Matter message. They also said excess donations will go to supporting a scholarship fund called CORE, which works to address racial equity in Chatham County.
