Another black church on fire, making it the 7th since hate crime in Charleston
Another black church is on fire making it the seventh since Dylann Roof committed a hate crime in Charleston, SC
Another black church is on fire making it the seventh since Dylann Roof committed a hate crime killing 9 people at Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, SC. Various reports are saying The Mt. Zion AME Church in Williamsburg County, South Carolina is on fire and the roof has collapsed.
It’s currently unknown how the fire began, but local news reported that officials received a call about it around 9 pm. The church is located on Mackey Road in Greeleyville.
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.
