Who We Are

from Black Jonestown Hosted by Leslie Wagner-Wilson

In our very first episode of Black Jonestown, we begin with the voices behind the mission. I’m Leslie Wagner Wilson—one of the nine people who escaped Jonestown on November 18, 1978. For decades, others have told our story for us. This podcast changes that. “Who We Are” introduces the storytellers, survivors, researchers, and descendants whose lives were shaped by Peoples Temple and Jonestown. We reclaim our narrative, honor the truth, and bring forward the voices—especially the Black voices—too often erased from history. This is where the journey begins. This is our truth. Welcome to Black Jonestown.
