It's always incredible what a group of dedicated individuals with a vision can do. Following the tragic Charleston shooting which took the lives of nine innocent people, the increasing racial tensions and hostility has found its way its old battleground: none other than the southern United States.

With calls to remove the Confederate flag receiving increasing support, some voiced their opposition to its removal, while others took action in the form of arson. Multiple churches in the south were burned down. The churches, which should be a haven and a symbol of faith and hope, were predominantly black and Christian. It is difficult to believe we are in the year 2015 while these sickening acts revive what should have been long gone racial ideals.
