Jim and Marceline Jones

Jim and Marceline Jones started what they called their rainbow family by adopting children of non-caucasian ancestry. They first adopted three Korean-American children, Lou, Suzanne, and Stephanie. Then they adopted Agnes, who was of Native American descent,. Then they adopted Tim, who was Caucasian. The couple also adopted an African-American baby boy named James Warren Jones Jr. Jim helped racially integrate churches, restaurants, a telephone company, the police department, a theatre and amusement park and a hospital. One minister later remarked, quote, Jim was breaking new ground in race relations at a time when the ground was still hard against that.
