In 1958, Lynn became involved in the highly publicized North Carolina "Kissing Case", involving a pair of African American boys, 7 and 9 years old, who were jailed, convicted of rape, and sentenced to reform school until age 21 after they playfully kissed (or were kissed by) a white girl as part of a game.
Williams helped gain gubernatorial pardons for two African-American boys convicted for molestation in the controversial Kissing Case of 1958.
