Mississippi black church torched and defaced with 'Vote Trump' graffiti
- 7 years ago
A historic black church in Mississippi was burned and vandalized with a pro-Trump slogan Tuesday night, in which vandals spray-painted "Vote Trump" on an exterior wall. Authorities determined that the blaze at Hopewell Baptist Church in Greenville was "intentionally set," and the incident is being probed as hate crime. Most of the damage to the 111-year-old church was done to the sanctuary. "The act that happened left our hearts broken," Pastor Carolyn Hudson said during a news conference.
