Inspired by the song “Stange Fruit”
A song about the hatred and racism of the “white” or fair skin people (most especially in the southern USA) toward people of “black” or dark skin.
If Music be the “food” of love, then this song is giving instruction about what a strange “food” (fruit) this is as a serving on the platter of life.~ Tammera
Vocalized by many artists,
Two of my favortite being…
Billie Holiday and
Nina Simone
Digital Art
Photoshop CS5
