-
Conrad Lynn was a Black civil rights lawyer in the United States. He was a member of the African Forum for Socialist Education. He was a member of the Communist Party until 1937. He was the lawyer for militant civil rights activist Robert F Williams during the 1960s, when Williams lived in Cuba, China, and Tanzania to escape prosecution for kidnapping in the United States. Lynn visited Williams in Cuba.
Lynn was interrogated by the House Un-American Activities Committee in 1963. He speculated that the committee's calling him reflected an effort by them "to frighten integrationists who are more radical than Martin Luther King."[1]
