I think you might. My little girl was bringing me books on African history, highlighted and annotated passages she thought I would find interesting when only 10yo. She’s not so little anymore. Many of our kids are so bright and talented we just have to nurture them. The future will be bright when it's in their hands, we have to give them the tools for success.

Kim Jones/del ham..... It is not Billie Holiday's song. It was written by a white Jewish Communist in the 30's. This version is a weak attempt at mimicking Billie's. I don't think anyone can hold a candle to her version and especially given what was going on at the time made it ever the more poignant, but Jeff Buckley does a pretty solid version.

POWER FULL Lyrics: Southern trees bear strange fruit Blood on the leaves and blood at the root Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees Pastoral scene of the gallant south The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth Scent of magnolias, sweet and fresh Then the sudden smell of burning flesh Here is fruit for the crows to pluck For the rain to gather, for the wind to suck For the sun to rot, for the trees to drop Here is a strange and bitter crop

I'm in awe and unable to adequately express the compassion I feel for families who have been forced to endure such horror because of their heritage, because of the color of their skin. I firmly agree that in order to heal you must first be able to tell the truth about your history of racial terror and injustice. God bless you on your journey. Thank you for helping me start mine.

This song is very moving and empowering. You are right in order to heal from this we must tell the truth and no mater who it was. They were and are still important today because no one deserved the life they were forced into. These people died and their story needs to be told by someone. It is important to be thankful to the ones that ended slavery and the racial things that were happening because we could have been them.

This song is always raw but boy did Adra and production do an incredible job with this. The raw emotion, the pain, the trauma, the anger, the hurt.... They did INCREDIBLE.

This was beautiful. And so was the message. A flower that grows from blood soaked earth is a powerful message. Remember these things & when done in the right way..all ears can hear..all hearts can feel. Find your moment..don’t ever forget the sufferings of the innocent. When done with civility..real tears on all eyes can fall.

This treatment that predates her stunning, award-winning performance is powerful in its own right. The snare and amorphous shimmering guitar complete the ghostlike immersive experience. All I can say is Andra DAY-AMMMMM!

Strange that you are using a song written by a white Jewish Communist to tell your story. I would think that it would be considered white washing or something like that cause it is a black thing and those white people just can't understand.

Robert M Remember back then black voices were silenced or ignored. The media was 90 something percent white. White voices (or Jewish one in this case) were not. Because of this people used whites to help get their message across to the masses.

Thank you Andra Day for keeping this song alive and in our memories. Lynching continues today in many forms especially in police brutality. Someone needs to write and sing a ballad about those murders.

I so wish there had never been any reason for such a song. I brought my 15 year old Son here and to Billie Holidays original to educate him on a history that isn’t talked about enough in UK schools and should be. This version still stirs and shocks your soul like Billie’s always has. An amazing version of a story that has to be told. 😘Xxx

I am sorry to anyone reading this who’s bloodline was negatively affected by that shameful time in history.

Its so weird I heard this song for the first time in Louisiana in the 1980s. I was 7 I didn't know the name and when I asked Ms. Lindy what it was all she told me is that it was a song of her history. I never heard her play it again then again I moved away 6 months later. As I got older I looked up the words on the internet and eventually found out the story behind it by accident by watching an episode of Touched By an Angel. I am so glad the story is being told.
