RICHMOND, Va. (WTVR) - Two new billboards along Interstate 95 near Chamberlayne Ave. are grabbing the attention of drivers.

"We Need Your Help to RECLAIM Education and STOP The Negro Project!" the billboard reads.

"I'm asking myself what exactly is 'The Negro Project', it certainly got my attention, now I want to know what's behind this," Richmonder Lisa Hunt said.

CBS 6 senior reporter Wayne Covil found out the Virginia Christian Alliance, a pro-life organization, put up the billboards as a way to advertise an upcoming class.
