Song have in today's culture?

What relevance does this song have in today's culture?

In life, some aspects carry the history of a particular people. This could be through artifacts, poems, or a type of clothes that remind a particular group of people of historical events. The song Strange Fruit by Billie Holiday is a classic that carries history, especially for African Americans. The song takes a metaphorical approach as it was sung during the slave period in America, where African Americans were misused for their labor, dumped, killed at will, and faced other forms of discrimination. For Holiday, the strange fruit represents African Americans, which means they were considered strange individuals not worth the dignity of humans.
