SPRINGFIELD — As investigators search for the cause of a suspicious fire that heavily damaged the Martin Luther King Jr. Community Presbyterian Church on Monday, anxiety continues to grow in the community, especially among members of historically Black churches.
People have been calling local leaders to air concerns about the blaze and the fact they still have no answers about the cause, said state Rep. Bud L. Williams, D-Springfield.
