Chatham Honors History, Animals Thrive, Kids Get Supplies | Roanoke News
Description
This weekend, Chatham celebrates its past with a historic marker for Gilbert’s Restaurant — a legendary spot that served icons like Fats Domino and James Earl Jones while offering lodging to Black travelers during segregation. Meanwhile, Homeward Trails Danville marks two years of lifesaving work for animals, sterilizing nearly 900 cats, finding homes for 160+ pets, and distributing tons of pet food — all while pushing for better conditions at the local humane society. As schools reopen, local businesses and churches are rallying to provide free supplies, food, and fun for kids — proving that Danville and Pittsylvania County are coming together to uplift history, animals, and education.
