LYNCHBURG, Va. – A Lynchburg restaurant is back in business following controversy earlier this year. Fifth & Federal Station has been closed since May, when the restaurant supported a tweet from-then Liberty University President Jerry Falwell Jr. showing a picture of a face mask with the blackface photo from Gov. The owner, Josh Read, declined to go on camera, but told 10 News they regret the tweet. One Lynchburg resident said Thursday it’s nice to have Fifth & Federal back in business. Some other passersby declined interviews, but called Fifth & Federal “racist.”The owner said they’re focusing on strengthening their relationships within the community and invite people to visit to see what they’re truly about.
