Jonestown Mass Suicide |
||||||
 |
||||||
|
||||||
| The dead bodies of members of the People’s Temple Commune lie before the “throne” of the cult’s leader, Jim Jones, in Jonestown, Guyana. Acting on Jones’s orders, more than 900 cult members committed suicide at the Jonestown commune in 1978 by consuming a cyanide-laced soft drink. The quotation on the wall is from American philosopher George Santayana. | ||||||
