The Peoples Temple, founded by Jim Jones in the 1950s, was known for its emphasis on communal living, racial integration, and social justice. Members participated in group activities, including communal meals and meetings that promoted Jones's ideology. The Temple also practiced a form of religious devotion that included the use of "white nights," during which members were subjected to intense psychological pressure and loyalty tests. Ultimately, these practices culminated in the tragic mass suicide in Jonestown in 1978.
