The People’s Temple was founded in the 1950s by a pastor named Jim Jones. He was always very much opposed to apartheid, due to which most African Americans were added to his religious creed.
Jim Jones had promised those who were rejected by the society that he would make them a better society, where there would be equal people, there would be no caste, caste, high-caste and apartheid in that society. Apart from African Americans, Jews, Whites and Mexicans were also associated with Jim Jones’ organization.
