This is the second time a black church has caught fire. The last time was in 1995, when it was burned to the ground by former Ku Klux Klan members. In 1996, President Bill Clinton attended the dedication ceremony for the new church that was built in the aftermath.

State and federal officials are looking into the blazes, some of which may be classified as hate crimes.
