The swimmer has twice won

female free-stylist in the world

How Jim Jones moved
into black community
PART II
Jones was on the move, and
his growing congregatio i
moved with him. He moved o
the NAACP, gaining a position
on the executive board of the
San Francisco chapter along
with several of his followers.
He moved on the Black
Leadership Forum, sending a
representative to lobby for his
admission by claiming that
Jones was partially Black.
Throughout the Black
community, the parishioners
moved as a body, establishing
their pastor as a political and
religious force.
Downtown white politicians,
whose meetings were also
subject to Jones’ packing
techniques, quickly accepted
him as a force in the Black
community Jones could
produce bodies - campaign
workers particularly - who
could swell a crowd for a
presidential candidate’s wife
and beat the pavement for a
mavoral hopeful like the late
Notice of Public Hearing
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development has notified the Board of
Commissioners of Richmond County that, under
the provisions of Title I of the Hosuing and
Community Development Act of 1974, as
amended, the County may be eligible to receive
up to $1,000,OCX) in Community Development
Discretionary Block Grant Funds for a
comprehensive grant program or up to
$5000,000 in Community Development
Discretionary Block Grant Funds for a single
purpose grant program.
It is the intention of the Board of
Commissioners of Richmond County to develop
and apply for a comprehensive grant program. In
compliance with requirements of the Housing
and Community Development Act, the Board of
Commissioners will hold two (2) public hearings
in order to afford every citizen in Richmond
County the opportunity to participate in the
development of the program and selection of
projects. A comprehensive program must
contain projects which will benefit a designated
target area. The area bounded by Milledgeville
Road, Olive Road, Old Savannah Road, and the
city limits of Augusta has been designated as the
target area. The program may also contain
projects which benefit other areas of the county.
All of the projects to be funded must be
consistent with a list of eligible activities. The
list may be obtained from the
Augusta-Richmond County Planning
Commission, 525 Telfair Street, Augusta,
Georgia, 30901, during regular business hours.
The first public hearing will be held by the
Board of Commissioners at 7:00 P.M., Thursday,
January 4, 1979, in Room 603 of the
City-County Building, 530 Greene Street,
Augusta, Georgia.
The second public hearing will be held at 7:00
P.M., Monday, January 15 at the same location.
All interested persons are encouraged to
attend these hearings.
George Masco ne.
Jones was rewarded with the
chairmanship of the San
Francisco Housing Authority, a
position which previously had
been held by a Black minister
whose church was located just
around the corner from
People’s Temple.
But with this power came
the inevitable hostility.
Traditional Black ministers
shunned Jones and urged their
congregations to vote against
those candidates Jones
supported. The resulting
isolation of the People’s
Temple in the Black
community was heightened by
physical and mental assaults on
the congregation. Temple
vehicles were set afire, the
church was firebombed and
members were shot at. There
were threatening phone calls,
intimidating letters and
attempted arson.
The congregation began to
withdraw into itself, into a
world in which Jones and his
followers were increasingly
unable to distinguish between
legitimate criticism and
illogical hostility.
Cracks began to appear in
what had seemed to be a solid
front. Individuals resigned,
stories of disciplinary beatings
increased, and the local media
became curious.
Jones reacted by tightening
security, enlisting the help ot
members of the Nation ot
Islam next door. Ushers were
transformed into sentries,
pacing the aisles during
services, watching for anything
suspicious. Up front, two
church members sat in elevated
chairs flanking the pulpit,
looking over every member of
the audience.
But the temple congregation
continued to shrink, becoming
more closed off to the world
In the quest for security, in the
futile efforts to cover the
cracks in its facade, the temple
barred its doors against the
larger brotherhood and the
faith in the future which it
preached.
Approximately 1200 of the
congregation retreated finally
to Guyana. Before leaving,
Jones said from his pulpit, "I
know there are people in the
audience who would like to see
us destroyed.’ He predicted
that People's Temple would
prevail over its enemies.
Today, 912 bloated corpses
are the legacy of Jones' vision.
Just one week before the
ritual of death in Guyana,
Wilbur Hamilton, San
Francisco’s Black
redevelopment chief,
announced that 100 units of
new housing, costing $65,000
to SIOO,OOO per unit, would be
erected in the Hunter's Point
neighborhood, one of the city's
last outposts of low income
Blacks. The process that had
already pushed a Black
community out of the Western
Addition has moved on to
fresh conquests.
“Those who do not
remember the past are
condemned to repeat it," read
the sign over the grisly scene of
death in Jonestown.
“What goes around, comes
around," is the way many
Blacks would put it.

this holy season
and through the year.
