Rebecca Moore, emerita professor of religious studies at San Diego State University, will discuss the mass murder-suicides that occurred in Jonestown, Guyana in 1978. as part of the Hawley Foundation Lecture series on April 5 at 7 p.m. in the Sussman Theater.

Moore examines competing narratives about what led members of the Peoples Temple to their tragic demise, in order to understand voices that have been erased from popular media accounts: those of women, African Americans, and citizens of Guyana. Sponsored by the Drake University Honors Program Student Council and the Hawley Foundation.
