Jim Jones founded the Peoples Temple in Indianapolis in 1956. Twenty-two years later, on November 19, 1978, he became notorious for leading his congregants in mass suicides in his utopian settlement, known as Jonestown. 918 people - including children -- lost their lives to suicide or were murdered. Congressman Leo J. Ryan was among them. NBC News reporter Don Harris and cameraman Robert Brown, on the scene covering events, were killed on the airstrip outside of Jonestown. Much of the footage on Jim Jones and Jonestown Massacre has been assembled into a compilation reel at NBC News Archives.

16. Various of Mark Jr., grabbing his birds and riding away on his bicycle
STORYLINE:
“God, family, birds. That’s my life.”
Every Sunday at dawn, owners gather across Guyana to proudly show and exhibit their birds and face them against each other in whistling competitions.
These are Guyana’s speed-singing contests –a centuries-old tradition where male finches are placed in cages next to each other as judges count the number of chirps they emit in the span of five minutes.
The first to reach 50 chirps within this timespan wins, or, if the time expires, whichever had the most tweets.
Sunday’s race attracted a smaller crowd than usual given the heavy skies and recent rains.
Among those attending but not competing was Ryan Boodhoo, a 42-year-old importer and contractor.
Boodhoo estimates he has won more than 1,000 races since he began participating 25 years ago, winning his first competition at age 15.
“For me, it’s not just competing. It’s like my therapy,” he said.
For the regular ear, it’s nearly impossible to distinguish which bird makes which noise. But for experienced bird owners the whistles are clear as water.
“It's more like a civilized whistle,” explained Terry Evans, a bus driver who serves as judge for bird race competitions.
While continuing with their daily lives during the week, competitors carry around their birds everywhere. You see them regularly at the market, walking on the streets, always accompanied by their feathered friends.
But not everyone with a bird competes. Some, like 18-year-old Mark Jr., keep them only as pets for company and to hear them sing.
On Saturday morning, Mark Jr. biked from his home with one birdcage on either side of his handlebars to a nearby community and collected wild grass seeds to feed his two birds.
He hung his birds on electric poles as they flitted and watched him crouch down to collect their food.

American widow set to step into President's shoes
=================================================
The US-born widow of Guyana's first freely-chosen president was
expected to win the presidential election in Guyana on Monday
(15/12). Prime Minister Janet Jagan is the widow Cheddi Jagan,
who dominated Guyanese politics from the 1950s until his death
in March.
Janet Jagan, 77, a Chicago-born staunch leftist, was set for a
five-year presidential term in Guyana, a former British colony
on the north coast of South America. Her closest rival was
former president and conservative Desmond Hoyte, whose 1985-1992
administration saw increased foreign investment and economic
liberalization.
Guyana's estimated 500,000 registered voters went to the polls
to choose a president from among 10 candidates and elect a
65-seat parliament. Turnout was heavy and there were no reports
of violence.
Jagan's People's Progressive Party (PPP) mostly represents the
nation's majority Indo-Guyanese population, descendants of
Indian indentured servants. Hoyte's People's National Congress
(PNC) represents African-Guyanese, who make up 39 percent of the
population in this nation of 730,000.

Mourners, survivors and family members of the victims of the mass murder-suicide in Jonestown gathered on Wednesday at the Evergreen Cemetery in California to mark the 20th anniversary of the tragedy.
409 victims of the massacre are buried in the cemetery, and a gravestone marks a mass grave.
Among the people who attended the memorial service were Jim Jones Jr. and Stephen Jones, the adopted and biological sons of Jim Jones.
Both were able to survive the deaths because they were playing basketball in another city in Guyana that day.
Jinona Norwood, the memorial service organiser, lost 27 family members in the tragedy.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"I lost my mother and 27 family members in the Jonestown Guyana tragedy, most of whom were children; about 17 children in our family perished at Jonestown."
SUPER CAPTION: Jinona Norwood, Relative of victims and organizer
Herbert Newell also lost some of his closest relatives.
He was a member of the sect but survived the mass murder-suicides, because on the morning of the killings he was ordered by cult leaders to take a boat away and come back the next day.
He now believes Jim Jones wanted no one to escape the compound on that day.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"My mother, my oldest sister, my three baby brothers, my baby sister, my little nephew, three cousins and a little niece. It's a great loss, a great loss."
SUPER CAPTION: Herbert Newell, Survivor
Meanwhile in Washington, religious experts urged Congress to release more than 5,000 pages of classified documents that contain information on the tragedy.
A congressional committee studied the massacre at the People's Temple in Guyana, and later released a 782-page report, but the rest of the papers were not declassified.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"Now 20 years later is our belief the time has come for the release of these documents, so there a more thorough assessment of what occurred at Jonestown can be made."
SUPER CAPTION: J. Gordon Melton, Institute for the Study of American Religion
In 1980, the House Select Committee on Intelligence determined the C-I-A was not involved with the cult, and determined that Jim Jones suffered from "extreme paranoia."
Jones had been the widely respected religious leader of the People's Temple organization in San Francisco until August 1977, when a magazine article detailed ex-member's stories of beatings and forced donations.
Jones then abruptly moved the group to Jonestown, a settlement in Guyana.
After there was some evidence of Jones preparing a mass murder-suicide in the South American country, U-S Congressman Leo Ryan led a fact-finding mission to Guyana.
The visit went well until some Jonestown residents expressed their wishes to leave.
The Ryan delegation was then ambushed at an airfield, and the congressman and four others were executed by members of the People's Temple.
Later, Jones told his followers that "the time has come for us to meet in another place."
