Immortal song stylist Billy Holiday is credited with writing and performing the first anti-racist song called Strange Fruit. The song is about lynching, more particularly the lynching of black men, sometimes in the south, but not always. This haunting song is still as powerful as it was during its first performance. Here is a link to a YouTube video (mostly audio). Please check it out.
