Vice President Mike Pence To Visit Site Of Burned Historically Black Church

Vice President Mike Pence is scheduled to be in Louisiana tomorrow to visit the site of an arson fire that destroyed a historically black church in Opelousas.

Two other set fires burned other predominantly black churches in St. Landry Parish within days of the blaze that gutted Mount Pleasant Baptist Church where Pence is to meet with the Reverend Gerald Toussaint and others.

Holden Matthews, the son of a sheriff's deputy, is held without bond and facing arson and hate crime charges in connection with the three fires.
