Paul Simon – A Church Is Burning Lyrics 18 years ago
I believe it is about slavery of the black people(in the USA, most probably)

'Three hooded men' - Ku Klux Klan
'where just hours before
Voices were singing and hands were beating' - Gospel
'saying, "I won't be a slave any more."' - self-explanatory

The person speaking in the song could even be Martin Luther King..
