30th Anniversary of Jonestown: The Survivors

From Bonnie Hamre, About.com GuideNovember 15, 2008

Follow me on:

30 years after, the legacy of Jonestown (AP): "Dark clouds tumbled overhead on that afternoon 30 years ago, in the last hours of the congressman's mission deep in the jungle of Guyana."

So begins an account of one of the few survivors of that day when hundreds died by order of Jim Jones, the leader of the People's Temple at Jonestown. The author briefly reports on the horrendous events of that day in Guyana, and gives a short update on those who survived.
