  This is a video recording of Billie Holiday singing "Strange Fruit." This is a song about lynchings in the south with the "strange fruit" being the black bodies hanging from the trees. Collins (p. 107, 2nd edition; 110-ish 3rd edition) uses this as an example of black women blues singers making political and social statements in their music. I was also reminded of the brief discussion of the swing-set murdered children depicted in the X-Men comic - same brutality, different imagery.

  南方的樹結著奇異的果實
  Southern trees bear a strange fruit,
  血沾滿枝葉，滲入根中
  Blood on the leaves and blood at the root,
  黑色的身軀，在南風中輕擺
  Black bodies swaying in the Southern breeze,
  白楊樹上掛著奇異的果實
  Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees.
  壯闊的南方，醉人的田園風光

  This video of Billie Holiday singing her most popular song, Strange Fruit about a lynching in the south is a powerful video to share with all students during Black History Month. This was 5 months before she died. On youtube.
