<title>African American Churches Burned</title>
<description>
        <![CDATA[
        1996. Amid growing racial tension in the South, nearly 40 primarily African American churches are burned there. Proclaiming that black churches taught their congregations how to manipulate the welfare system and procure government subsidies, the Klan set up shop in 1994 in a field near Macedonia Baptist Church. Its members were forced to listen to the Klan's message of hate as it blared through the church windows. One of the young white men listening outside, a friend and neighbor of Macedonia parishioners, helped burn the church.

On June 20th and 21st, 1995, Timothy Welch and another young man, Christopher Cox, burned Macedonia Baptist and Mt. Zion AME Church. They and two older accomplices, Arthur Haley and Hubert Rowell, were found guilty of the church burnings and sentenced to 15 21 years in prison (later reduced to 12 years for Cox and Welch for testifying in the civil suit against the Klan). On July 24, 1998, in the largest judgment ever awarded against a hate group, a jury ordered the Christian Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, Grand Dragon Horace King and four other Klansmen to pay $37.8 million for their roles in a conspiracy to burn Macedonia Baptist Church.

<description>
        <![CDATA[
        When I was in 4th grade, 1978, our house was torched (arson) by the owner, and we ended up moving to Jet, OK, to finish out the school year.  We moved back to Helena, after that.  Close to Jet are the famous Salt Plains, left over from pre-historic days.  Tourists and locals go out there to dig up the unique salt crystals, always hoping to get the elusive "rose" crystals.<br/>Tags: jet, arson, helena, great salt plains, crystals<br /><br /><a href="http://platial.com/post/65931">Map this on Platial</a><br />
