All were written by former members and relatives of the people who died. While each individual story brings a powerful voice to any consideration of the events of 18 November 1978, their totality contributes to an even more important &#8211; if sometimes cacophonous &#8211; body of work. For that reason, these stories may also be found on our growing online collection of perspectives <a href=\"http:\/\/jonestown.sdsu.edu\/?page_id=16994\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>We invite other members and families of Peoples Temple &#8211; whatever your views on the tragedy of Jonestown and the factors that led to its end &#8211; to join in this chorus.
