A fire destroyed Mount Zion African Methodist church in Greeleyville, South Carolina, a town just north of Charleston.
Authorities have yet to reveal if arson was involved, but it’s highly likely that the blaze was set by racists.
It’s the seventh Black church to be burned in recent weeks.

Mount Zion was burned 20 years ago by members of the KKK and rebuilt in 1996.
President Bill Clinton visited the site and spoke about racism before the audience gathered at the ceremony.
The fire and over 600 others led to the National Church Arson Task Force, which aims to investigate suspicious fires on church grounds.
