Music post by Kristin Rawls on September 22, 2011 - 11:12am; tagged Angela Davis, Billie Holiday, civil rights, Civil Rights Movement, criminal justice system, death, protest, Protest Songs, The Supreme Court.

Billie Holiday, "Strange Fruit" (lyrics)

I mean, the other unforgettable legacy of his.
