A Strange Death at a Music Festival: Meredith Hunter

In honor of Black History Month, we will continue with stories featuring black lives.  In today’s episode, we discuss Meredith Hunter, a young man who attended the Altamont Free Concert with his girlfriend on December 6, 1969. With approximately 300,000 in attendance and inadequate security, the festival quickly takes a violent turn resulting in the controversial death of Meredith.  Follow us on Instagram @itsastrangeworldpodcast, Twitter @PodStrangeWorld and on Facebook and TikTok @ It’s A Strange World After All!
