Today’s #StrangeFruitMOTD is a haunting, a cappella rendition of Nina Simone's cover of the protest song originally made famous by Billie Holiday – "Strange Fruit." The stripped-down track allows the powerful lyrics to stand alone and “you can hear the talent and the emotion in her voice, making it a stunning listen.”
Once called "Bitter Fruit," a poem by Abel Meeropol, the writer, teacher, and songwriter adapted it into the song "Strange Fruit" as "a protest against the lynchings that were persistent throughout the American South."
