1939: Billie Holiday, una fruta rara

"Strange Fruit" (1939) (extraño fruto, en español) no nació como una canción, sino como un poema del profesor judío Abel Meeropol tras ver una fotografía de un linchamiento en Indiana. Billie Holiday la hizo suya en el club Café Society de Nueva York, convirtiéndola en el primer gran grito del movimiento por los derechos civiles. La letra utiliza la metáfora de un "fruto extraño" que cuelga de los álamos para describir con crudeza los cuerpos de afroamericanos asesinados en el Sur. Hoy es considerada una de las obras culturales más importantes del siglo 20 por su valentía y crudeza.
