Yup. Strange Fruit.
That picture is I think a salutary lesson to anyone who thinks African Americans are making a big deal out of stuff that happened a long time ago. It really wasn't so long ago that lynching black men was no big deal in the South. Look at that photograph and look at the whites al gathered around. Do they look like they just ended the life of two human beings, or do they look like they just strung up a couple of wild animals? Some of the children of those people are likely to still be alive and well. It wasn't such a long time ago at all. |

Here's a link to a page about the (excellent) song written about the event.
