Black Church in Mass. Burned to Ground on Election Night
--------------------------------------------------------



In Springfield, Massachusetts, a predominantly black congregation is
vowing to rebuild its church after it was burned to the ground two weeks
ago, just hours after the election of Barack Obama as the nation’s first
black president. Law enforcement officials say the fire was
intentionally set, but no arrests have been made.
