Who is the singer?

Billie Holiday, Eleanora Holiday Fagan was born in Philadelphia on April 7, 1915 and died in New York on July 17, 1959 and was an American jazz singer, being considered one of the most important and influential of the musical genre.

1939 song,

What is the song?

composed by Abel Meeropol,

Strange Fruit

who preached most strongly against lynching in the southern states of the United States and therefore in favor of civil rights.

3. What does it talk about?

Personally, I think this song is very slow, it has good lyrics and rhythm, but I don't really like this type of music.
In his lyrics we highlight the following phrases: “Pastoral scene of the gallant south, bulging eyes, crooked mouth, the scent of magnolias, sweet and fresh, and suddenly the smell of burning meat”.

cAUSES OF THESE EVENTS

HISTORICAL eVENTS

VS

The causes of this conflict can be established in the slave trade from Africa since the16th century to supply free labor to agricultural plantations throughout the Americas, and in this case,of the southern states of the United States as early as the eighteenth century, with the formation of the nation ofUSA.

Lynching was a practice that occurred in some southern states of the United States, especially in the latefrom the 18th century to the 1960s. They had black people as victims, with whatwhich is associated with white racial supremacy after the 19th century American Civil War and the grantingrights to that population.

Consequenses of the Civil Rights Movement

The song that we have heard denounces these facts, giving an image to the situation of the black population in the United States, especially in the southern states, traditionally slave holders.

The most palpable consequences of this movement was the equalization and suppression of the barriers thatThey segregated the population on the basis of race.
