On June 21, 1995, the Macedonia Baptist Church in Bloomville, South Carolina burned to the ground. In a suit filed August 22, 1996 against the Christian Knights of the Ku Klux Klan-Invisible Empire and four of its members who were indicted for their involvement in the church fire, the church alleges that the fire was racially-motivated and designed to intimidate the Church's congregation, disrupt its activities, and discourage it from holding property in the area.
