Seventh Black Church Burns In South Since Charleston Church Shooting

By CBS, Jul. 1, 2015

COLUMBIA, S.C. (CBS Atlanta/AP) — A federal law enforcement source says a fire that destroyed a black church in South Carolina was not the work of an arsonist.


The source says preliminary indications are that the fire at the Mount Zion African Methodist Episcopal Church in Greeleyville, 50 miles north of Charleston, was not intentionally set and was not arson. The official spoke on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the case publicly. The source says the fire is still under investigation.

The fire comes 20 years after the Ku Klux Klan burned it down.

Facebook Petition Calls For National ‘Burn The Confederate Flag’ Day

By CBS Atlanta, Jun. 23, 2015

CHARLESTON, S.C. (CBS Atlanta/AP) — A Facebook petition is calling for a National “Burn The Confederate Flag” Day.

More than 8,000 people have “liked” the petition as of Monday morning.

“The Confederate flag has flown in America for 150 years too long. The Civil War is long over. Fortunately, our First Amendment right gives us the power of free speech that will allow us to display our feeling by burning the flag of slavery from sea to shining sea. Join us for a PEACEFUL DAY OF PROTEST and burn the Confederate flag,” the petition reads.

It continues, “This is our day to demonstrate that it is no longer acceptable to fly this flag anywhere. Organize a Confederate flag burning event in your area on Saturday, June 27th, and flood social media with pictures and videos using the hashtags #FeelTheBurn and #TakeItDown.”

The Confederate flag has become a topic of debate once again after a white gunman opened fire during Bible study at Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, South Carolina, last week, killing nine. Suspect Dylann Roof, 21, has been charged with nine counts of murder.

Woman Charged With Murder In Death Of 5-Month-Old Fetus After Taking Abortion Pill

By CBS Atlanta, Jun. 9, 2015

ALBANY, Ga. (CBS Atlanta/AP) — A south Georgia woman has been charged with malice murder in the death of a 5 1/2-month-old fetus she delivered after taking an abortion pill.

WALB-TV reports 23-year-old Kenlissa Jones took a Cytotec abortion pill she purchased on the Internet and delivered the fetus Saturday night. Jones reportedly bought the pill from a source in Canada.

A neighbor drove Jones to the hospital, but she delivered the baby boy in the car.

Jones’ family was shocked at what happened.

“At that point we didn’t even know she was pregnant,” Rico Riggins, her brother, told WALB. “And so my first real reaction was like, why she keeping it away from us.”
