Visit Jonestown Memorial, Evergreen Cemetery, Oakland, California

More than 400 unclaimed bodies of the Jonestown mass suicide are buried at Evergreen Cemetery in Oakland. In 2011, four additional memorial plaques were placed at the site with the names of all 918 people who died in the incident. The new memorial controversially includes the name of Jim Jones, the leader who ordered the mass suicide. The organizers intended the memorial to be "for historical purposes, listing everyone who died there," including the news reporters and Rep. Leo Ryan.
