"Strange Fruit" primarily refers to the powerful 1939 protest song, made famous by Billie Holiday, that condemns American racism and the brutal lynching of African Americans, using the haunting metaphor of bodies hanging from trees. Written byAbel Meeropol,it's considered a foundational piece of the Civil Rights Movement, shocking audiences with its direct confrontation of racial violence.
