        By "racism" you mean lynching? The "strange fruit" that inspired the lyrics to the song were 2 lynched black men hanging from tree.

        just a lil' bit. Had no idea this song existed because it was blacklisted. 80 yrs later I'm discovering it thanks to Ferguson

        oh wow. What a way to be introduced to it huh? It's one of Billie Holiday's greatest, but hearing it once was enough for me.

        Yeah, first time hearing it for me too. Hair standing, goosebumps. What a horrific inspiration.

        incredibly sad and destructive... What happened to the adage " if you can't say something nice don't say anything at all"!

        @RebeccaFMusic will further divide, not bring together. The #TrumpInaugural is a celebration, not a protest.
