Summary Note
In November 1976, members of Peoples Temple in San Francisco caught two men eavesdropping from a parked car on a lecture by Unita Blackwell Wright, the mayor of Mississippi and a civil rights activist. They tracked one of the men down and found that Thomas Dawsey was an electronics expert from Kessler Air Force Base near Biloxi, Mississippi who worked for a “communications team” under the direction of U.S. Senator John Stennis.
