A man accused of setting fire to three historically black churches in Louisiana was charged with hate crimes Monday. Holden Matthews, the 21-year-old son of a deputy sheriff, was also charged with three counts of arson after being arrested last week. The first blaze occurred at the end of last month, and the two others in early April. All three churches were in St. Landry Parish, about 30 minutes north of Lafayette. https://www.democracynow.org/2019/4/16/headlines/man_charged_with_hate_crimes_over_fires_at_3_black_louisiana_churches
