Archie Ijames
Archie Ijames (September 1, 1913 – May 30, 1993) was an American Christian minister and assistant pastor of Jim Jones' Peoples Temple.
Born in Davie County, North Carolina, Ijames was the son of a
Jonestown Massacre in November 1978, Ijames received significant media attention as the highest ranking member of People's Temple to escape the mass murder suicide.[4][5]
After the events at Jonestown, Ijames left People's Temple. He became a street preacher in San Francisco, preaching to the homeless and organizing food and clothing drives for them.[6]
