I have long known about Jonestown, but just recently started watching and learning so much more about it. This clip in particular makes me cry. This lady is sharing her beautiful voice and it is so moving; however, I just keep thinking in a few hours, all these beautiful people will be dead. I don't know what is wrong with me, but I can't stop watching these videos and it troubles me so bad at night. I wish I could go back in time and save these people. They really wanted to do good in the world.

If you really wanna be heart broken read the story of her life. She quite literally had a horribly life, but she found happiness in the peoples temples. Only to die the next day in the jungle to the sounds of screaming children. It’s a shame what happened to these people because they truly where some of the most vulnerable and victimized people.

Seeing the faces of those innocent angels it's makes my heart melt. You will always be in my prayers kids

What a shame. Could have been a big star.

Wow absolutely amazing singer. Such a waste of talent rip all these beautiful souls

[@solidrock7998]

This gives me chills every time I watch it.

[@corneliusthorn9498]

I wished we new her name the lead singer was beautiful and had a bright future, wow can’t believe all those people are gone

[@joanfan6324]

Her name was Deanna Wilkinson

[@lancebaylis3169]

Beautiful, haunting, unnerving, talented, taken from the world before they should have. It's particularly unsettling seeing them up there on stage performing beneath that famous sign in the Pavillion, "Those who do not learn from history are fated to repeat it".

[@shane802]

She’s such a beautiful talent . Wasted! For what ?? So sad 😞

[@corneliusthorn9498]

Thank you for sharing her name again so sad about these people

[@stickshiftdriver1832]

After this song she or another singer sang "The greatest love off all" and everyone was sing along with them. It was so surreal and sad for you know what was going to happen next

[@yeahok7772]

All that talent and potential snuffed out. One of those babies could’ve been the one to cure cancer or something and they never got a chance. One of the reasons I continue to mourn these people. May they all continue to RIP

[@BroshidoBarber]

I saw this clip on the documentary on Hulu and it’s been haunting me ever since. So tragic and sad that every one in this video are just dead so senselessly.

[@bronzemen34]

my heart hurts for these people and these innocent children who had no idea what they were gonna face the next day - there celebrations hide a deeper darker secret :( SAD to watch this and know what was coming for them - he was a evil person - but the memory of her beautiful voice will forever ring true and the deep plea for help behind it :(

[@decredd324]

Wow, so much talent in the ranks of the Peoples Temple, all wasted, sad. :-(

[@korlu01]

Listening to this story on the martyrmade podcast right now. The host, Darryl Cooper, I shit you not, was crying at the end of yesterday’s episode explaining this woman’s story. She died out there in that jungle. So so sad.

[@eddiew2325]

You mean Daryl Morey?

[@korlu01]

@ what??? It’s Cooper I assure you 😆

[@TheKendog1988]

What a beautiful voice. She could of easily got a record deal and platinum record with a voice like that. What a waste of beautiful talent. It's hard to imagine that 24 hours later her and most of the people there would be dead. :,(

[@aliciaalva4681]

Because it’s beautiful yet sad. You can’t help thinking a few hours later they’d all be dead…

[@brianbelton3605]

I was just an early teen when this happened. Jim Jones is now roasting, in slow-motion, on a pig-spit, sizzling, roasting with rotten garlic, He is Yelling "White Knight, drink the kool-aid, all the way to HELL" And, that was the end of these innocent people lives. A few hours later.. . Finito! Cyanide! So sad. I salute the brave congressman, LEO RYAN! He bravely went down there, for his constituents (those who voted for him). Can you name a "politician" today, with the balls, to take this type of action, for those who trusted him? F'ing F NOO! You will not see it today, except for one person: MR TRUMP. Smarten up, people, Trump is not a politician, He is one of us!

Dianne Wilkinson: My name Dianne Wilkinson. I am twenty-eight years old. And first of all, I would like to let the world know, that to live in America is a curse and especially if you’re black. And the only place that I have found that freedom and opportunity to become somebody in my life is in Peoples Temple, and meeting Jim Jones and his character and how he loved and took in animals and how he cared for each senior and child. Yes, we love our children, we love our seniors, but everybody here has made up their own individual decision. I have made my decision, that I don’t want to live one minute. I’d rather have my dignity, than have to be on my knees begging for my freedom. And I’d rather take my own life. Thank you.

[@CallMeJabber]

This is an excerpt of a tape that was made in the spring of 78, about 6 months before the fateful day. There were about 20-30 speakers from the temple speaking about why they supported revolutionary suicide. Diana unfortunately was one of them as well as many children and Jim jones himself.

Such a tragedy. There are no words. I can see why they fell for it all. God bless them all, I hope Peoples Temple are in Heaven peaceful atleast.

It is so sad when someone with that much talent and could have had such a bright future ends up dying so tragically.

Jim Jones gradually turned into a monster but he didn't start out as one. When he opened his church in Indiana he was the first church in the state that welcomed black folks into a white church. He was the first white person in the state to adopt a black child.

[@David_R922]

All of that for what? He enslaved them all over again.

[@asturiasceltic3183]

Yes, he was considered one of the most influential Civil Rights leaders in the same league as Martin Luther King. IDK, he sounds incredible on paper and many of the news articles I read, but when I listen to his sermons that included how he gives quickies to groupies he doesn't respect. his bisexuality, and how we are our own God and even throws the Bible across the room to taunt God to strike him down, I don't understand how anyone can take him seriously. He even staged his own "miracles" with his assasination healing..He obviously wasn't a Christian, theologian or a man of God..In fact, he almost sounds Satanical especially with that there is no God but we are God bit.
