The first of the three historically black places of worship that was burned was St. Mary Baptist Church on March 26. Greater Union Baptist was damaged April 2 and Mount Pleasant Baptist Church burned April 4.

Holden Matthews, the 21-year-old accused of starting the fires that damaged the churches, has been charged with hate crimes as well as arson.

Nearly $2 million has been raised by a GoFundMe to help rebuild the churches.
