About Lynn Eusan
- Lynn Cecilia Eusan was the first black Homecoming queen at the University of Houston, where she studied journalism, and the first black woman to earn the title at any predominantly white college or university in the south.
- Only seven years earlier, UH had been an all-white institution, not integrating until the 1962-63 academic year.
- In 1971, less than three years after that Homecoming ceremony, she was found dead in the back of a stranger's car.
- Her death was believed to be a murder, and no one was ever found guilty for her death.
- A park at the university is named in her honor.
