"Southern trees bear strange fruit; blood on the leaves and blood at the
root." 

 

These haunting lyrics made famous by Billie Holiday were penned by a
Jewish schoolteacher from the Bronx. 

Discover the fascinating story behind Strange Fruit, the anti-lynching
anthem of the 1940s that inspired millions during the civil rights
movement and endures today as one of the world's most famous protest
songs. Social worker and music enthusiast John Harvis-Bey leads a
post-viewing discussion.  Co-sponsored by Roots of American Music.
