Tennessee's history with white supremacy isn't just history. It's recent past
Throughout 1996, 160 Black churches in America were burned down due to arson. Tennessee had victims of this hatred.On Jan. 8, 1996, the Inner City Church in Knoxville, Tennessee, was hit with 18 Molotov cocktails. "Die (racial slur) Die!” and “White Is Right” were painted on the backdoor of the church. Over 20 years later no one has been charged with burning the church to the ground.
Salem Missionary Baptist Church, a church northeast of Memphis was also victim to a mysterious fire. Then president Bill Clinton and wife Hillary went to the church to help repair the damages.
