Wanda Jean Allen
Wanda Jean Allen (August 17, 1959 – January 11, 2001) was sentenced to death in 1989 for the murder of Gloria Jean Leathers, 29, her longtime girlfriend, in Oklahoma City. In 2001, Allen was the first black woman to be executed in the United States since 1954. She was the sixth woman to be executed since 1977, after executions resumed in the United States. Filmmaker Liz Garbus worked with Allen to chronicle her final appeals and the last three months of her life. These were the basis of the documentary, The Execution of Wanda Jean (2002).
