Since 1990, more than 100 Black churches have been torched or vandalized throughout the south. President Clinton has called for a thorough investigation, but the victims of the church burnings say the investigation has gone awry.

Pacifica’s Dennis Bernstein traveled to the South, to Mississippi, to investigate the investigators and examine the ties that bind these latest church fires to a long history of racial assaults.
