The Jazz of the Civil Rights Movement The song “Strange Fruit” written by Abel Meeropol and first made famous by Billie Holiday was already a defining protest work. Nina Simone’s version, coming later in the Civil Rights era, was firm and direct—her unique way of underscoring the message. This is part of our month-long series exploring how jazz gave voice to the fight for freedom and equality. | WBGO

Sheku is a musician and friend who has inspired me massively so I was really happy when he asked me to record this song, ‘Strange Fruit’ by Abel Meeropol (under his pseudonym Lewis Allan), with him.
