Strange Fruit: Billie Holiday, Cafe Society And An Early Cry For Civil Rights
David Margolick
Billie Holiday's signature tune, 'Strange Fruit', with its graphic and heart-wrenching portrayal of a lynching in the South, brought home the evils of racism as well as being an inspiring mark of resistance. In 1939, its performance sparked controversy (and sometimes violence) wherever Billie Holiday went.
