The C. O. W. S. Kenneth Wooden's The Children of Jonestown Part 5 #ThrowAwayChildren #JimJonesMentor #Slaves #DeeDeeSmith

The Katherine Massey Book Club @ The C.O.W.S. hosts the 5th study session on Kenneth Wooden's The Children of Jonestown. Wooden was a journalist at the time of the Guyana genocide and wrote extensively about the mass murder during 1978 and 1979. Like Meiers, Wooden is classified as a White Man. Having immersed ourselves into the life and times of the Rev. Jim Jones, we'll seek better answers about how "father" was able to acquire and kill nearly 300 children - most of them classified as black. Last week, Wooden told us about Julie Ann Runnels, a 12-year-old black female who was stolen by Rev. Jim Jones. When her black "relatives" saw her after a long period of the child being in the Peoples Temple, Runnels was without shoes, wearing soiled rags. She died in Jonestown. Gus pinpointed that the title of chapter 7, "The Paralysis and Failure of Government," is highly inaccurate. White government officials in Guyana and the US had the ability to move to action against the Peoples Temple and Rev. Jones. These powerful White officials lacked the will to address the hundreds of black children and people who would be killed in South America. #TheCOWS15Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#
