#BBB NEWS| Meet Faatimah Knight, Muslim Woman At The Front Of Fundraising For Burned Black Churches [PHOTOS]

As news and updates continue to surface about the AME Church shooting, Dylann Roof’s indictment, and the arson targeting of several black churches, one individual is hoping to bring a breath of relief.

Meet Faatimah Knight, the 23-year-old Muslim woman behind the project to restore the seven black churches that have burned down within the past month. Knight, who also studies theology, set up the project during the holy Muslim month of Ramadan.

Her original plan was to collect $500 for flowers to send to South Carolina in the aftermath of the Charleston church shooting that claimed nine lives at the hands of Dylann Roof. Knight and her friends overachieved the goal, ending up with $900, and didn’t stop there.

#BBB NEWS| Charleston Shooter Dylann Roof Indicted On New Charges [PHOTO]

Dylann Roof, the man responsible for the shooting at Charleston, S.C.’s Emanuel AME Church that left nine people dead, has been indicted on new charges.

After rounding up nine counts of murder, 21-year-old Roof was also charged with three counts of attempted murder, accounting for the three survivors of the heinous attack, according to the Associated Press.

U.S. Justice Department officials have not specified whether Roof’s act of violence will be treated as a hate crime, though a majority believe the legal parameters are in line to pursue the charge.

On a website registered in Roof’s name, a lengthy racist declaration was revealed along with photos of Roof holding guns, Confederate flags and burning American flags.
