This text explores the story of a song that foretold a movement,
and the lady who dared to sing it. In 1939, the performance of the
song's evocative lyrics portraying the lynching of a black man in
the Southern US sparked controversy, and sometimes violence,
wherever Billie Holiday went. It was 25 years before Dr Martin
Luther King Jr, led his famous march on Washington, yet "Strange
Fruit" lived on. In this text Margolick chronicles its effect on
those who experienced it first-hand: musicians, artists,
journalists, intellectuals, students and even the waitresses and
bartenders who worked in the clubs.
