Andra Day Performs "Strange Fruit" | United States vs. Billie Holiday | Hulu

[@shimaiyawilliams1774]

Hard to believe this is Andra Day's acting debut. STUNNING PERFORMANCE. She completely embodied Billie Holiday. She humanized a legend. You could see her vulnerabilities and her strength; her beauty and her flaws. I always believed Lady Day to be a FORCE as a Black Woman, and Unique as a singer. But you really get a sense of the entire person thru Andra's portrayal. KUDOS. She earned an OSCAR with this.

Andra Day is a real artist and often Oscar Winners sometimes never work again I think that she will work until she decides not to.. I pray that I get to work with her someday....

The unfortunate truth of the matter is this is still happening in today's society! Lynchings and other forms of hate crimes are still being committed.

[@Rowoches]

I was born and raised in Baltimore, MD, where the late, great Billie Holiday lived for a good bit of time. As an elementary school student, I went on a couple of field trips to the Baltimore Museum of Art, and there was an exhibit called STRANGE FRUIT. If I remember correctly, b/c it has been 30+ years, this exhibit included a large metal or wooden statue of a person, hanging by the feet, and Billie Holiday's voice can be heard singing "Strange Fruit." As a child, I definitely did not understand, but it was still such a powerful, powerful display. I'm not sure if the museum still has the exhibit, but it was definitely an experience.
