The book delves into the profound impact of "Strange Fruit," a song recorded by Billie Holiday in 1939 that became a pivotal anthem for the civil rights movement. It explores the revolutionary lyrics that addressed racial lynchings in the South and the song's origins in New York's Cafe Society. The narrative highlights the intertwined lives of Holiday and Abel Meeropol, the song's white Jewish writer, while tracing the broader implications of the song on artists and audiences across generations.
