People's Temple - Jim Jones receives MLK Humanitarian Award (January 17th, 1977)

https://jonestown.sdsu.edu/?page_id=1... (incomplete audio - full audio on website) In late 1976 and early 1977, Jim Jones was arguably at the peak of his influence and power in San Francisco politics. Likely as a reward for his efforts in the most recent mayoral campaign – but not without some controversy – Mayor George Moscone has selected him, along with Methodist minister Tony Ubalde, to serve on the city’s Housing Commission; Jones would also serve a brief stint as the agency’s chairman before leaving for Guyana in mid-1977. In an unrelated development, Jones was selected to receive the Humanitarian of the Year award on Martin Luther King Day in January 1977. Both of these achievements play a role on this tape: Mike Prokes, who was in charge of the Temple’s public relations, has a private telephone conversation with Ubalde about the decision on the Housing Commission chairmanship; but the bulk of the tape is the ceremony at which Jones receives his Humanitarian of the Year award. The audio on much of the tape is difficult. The recording of the ceremony was made by someone in the audience, far enough away from the platform that many of the remarks by various speakers are unintelligible. Only those of Jones himself – and the boisterous reaction from the Temple members in attendance – come through with clarity. The tape also includes several other telephone conversations and meetings, but most are without context.
