"Strange Fruit" began as a poem by Abel Meeropol, a white Jewish teacher and Communist Party member, published in 1937. The poem was inspired by a postcard depicting a lynching and vividly contrasted idyllic Southern landscapes with the horrific image of black bodies hanging from trees. His lines were blunt and achieved the desired effect of shocking listeners. Meeropol set the poem to music, and when Billie Holiday first performed it at Café Society in 1939, she feared backlash. The song became so impactful that it was always the final number, performed in a darkened room as the bar was starting to close. Columbia Records declined to release it, fearing repercussions, so Holiday recorded it with Commodore, and it sold a million copies, highlighting the brutal reality of racism in America.
