Strange Fruit

He may have heard Billie Holiday interpret the poem by Abel Meeropol, Strange Fruit , the indictment against lynchings commonly practiced in the southern United States.

Southern trees bear
strange fruit Blood on the leaves Blood at the root

Black body swinging in the Southern breeze Strange fruit hanging
From The poplar trees

trees bear a strange Southern fruit
Blood on the leaves, roots
Blood,
A black body swinging in the breeze, South
Strange fruit hanging on poplars.
