Strange Fruit

Not for the faint of heart, but a chilling, goose-pimple inducing song about lynching in the Deep South. The "Strange Fruit" is the bodies of lynching victims swaying in the breeze. This song decried the lynchings and raised consciousness of it to Americans in other parts of the country. A very sad song; Billie Holiday made it one of her signature songs. One of the most important songs of the last century. How far we've come!
