Summary
The Black Effect Presents... Hunting 4 Answers!
In this episode of Hunting 4 Answers: In 1971, civil rights activist Lynn Eusan made history as the first Black homecoming queen at a predominantly white Southern university. Just three years later, she was found stabbed to death in the backseat of a stranger’s car. The man responsible was arrested—then acquitted. Over 50 years later, her murder remains unsolved. Was Lynn targeted for the crown she wore… or the revolution she led?
This is the story of Lynn Eusan.
