Two Parrots In A Mass Suicide Site

Source: https://allthatsinteresting.com

A pair of parrots are perched atop a wooden fence of a place in Guyana called “Jonestown” where over 900 people were talked into committing suicide in November 20, 1978. Led by Jim Jones, a former civil rights activist who founded one of the first mixed-rate churches in the Midwest. Due to stories of scandal and because of his own paranoia, Jones relocated his church in the non-extradition country of Guyana and established Jonestown. He led his followers to believe that the government was out to get them, and talked them into committing suicide by drinking cyanide-laced soft drink.
