Norwood says she has found forgiveness for the Jonestown massacre, but aspects of it still haunt her. She laments that no one realized at the time just how dangerous Jones was — at least, no one who was able to stop him. And she remembers the many family members she lost, including her mother, who went to Guyana in hopes of building a better life and seeing if the allegations about Jones were true.

"From what I understand she tried to get off of the plane, and they would not let her," Norwood says. "And then (Jones) had her beaten when she got there, and chained, because she rose up against him. So I'm thinking about how generations in my family and families around the nation were cut off behind this power-crazed, power-hungry megalomaniac.

"And it brings tears to my eyes," Norwood says. "They never had a chance with him."

Here's my conversation with the Rev. Norwood:
