Hi there,

The media can be the greatest force for peace on Earth. Instead, all too often, it’s wielded as a weapon of war. That's why we have to take the media back. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. With your contribution, we can continue to go to where the silence is, to bring you the voices of the silenced majority – those calling for peace in a time of war, demanding action on the climate catastrophe and advocating for racial and economic justice. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much!

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. They say the people leading the investigation have traditionally been on the wrong side of the civil rights movement. 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.
