Jesse Jackson, who had met with fellow [[progressive]] the Rev. [[Jim Jones]] on several occasions,<ref">{{cite news|work=Los Angeles Times |title= Jones 'Concern For The Despaired' Cited |date= November 21, 1978}}</ref> refused to disparage Jones, stating that he still considered Jones to be a man that "worked for the people."
