“Committee of remembrance for the children of Jonestown and their loved ones.
You, dear friend, as a shepherd of our young, are invited to light a candle and carry it in memory of 276 children of Jonestown whose precious lives were extinguished on November 18, 1978 in Guyana and all night, candlenight [candlelight] vigil will encircle the White House to protest the year long national silence on their murders and the barbaric bulldozed common burial of 210 unidentified flowers from the landscape of America. As our light gives way to dawn, a Sunrise Memorial Service will echo from the Washington Mall in an Act of Remembrance and determination that it shall not happen again.
November 18, 1979, Washington, DC, the White House, midnight to sunrise.”
