This song written by Billie Holiday is addressing the problems of lynching African Americans during the time.

The problem that this song is addressing is the lynching and cruel treatment towards African Americans in the past. The change is wanted as it is not fair or right at all to lynch anybody due to the color of their skin. By making this song and including these type of lyrics it brings awareness to the situation, educating those who may not know of what's going on and how African Americans were being treated. Based off of the year that this song was created, there were most likely a widespread of lynching going around in the South as the Southern parts were more racist.

This song was about continuous school shootings in america and gun violence. The message said in the title is conveying that they dont want just "thoughts and prayers from politicians that have the money to do something. This change could come by people with the power to pass laws to control whos getting access to weapons and keeping it out of the hands of young people. this relates to our era because we see huge school shootings every year.

The song 'Strange Fruit' by Billie Holiday addresses the South and how the people there were lynching African Americans. Billie Holiday wanted to see a change because lynching was inhumane and no one should ever be allowed to take another person's life. She wanted to put a stop to lynching by spreading awareness and calling people to action to protest against it. An era this could relate to is the Enlightenment period, where white men would forcefully take African people from Africa and many were killed in the process if they tried to resist.

The song is addressing lynching in an honest, non-censored way, which is extremely important. Billie Holiday wants to see change for black people because they are being lynched. In the song, they didn't discuss how they will make the change, but being open and honest will inform the public of what is happening. This song is about slavery and the obvious gruesome mistreatment of black people, so it is related to that tremendously long time period.

The issue that this song is addressing is surrounding school shootings. They won't to change because children are dying in schools. They believe that guns are the main issue for school shootings and that the laws should be changed. They also disagree with the phrase that everyone states when shootings occur in schools which is "Thoughts and prayers" and is not enough and not making a big enough change. People are angry that America's leaders are sitting back and watching our children die rather than making the change to ensure that these things cannot occur again or at least reduce the chance.

This song addressed school shootings across America. The artists of this song want to see politicians send much more than their "thoughts and prayers". The number of shootings just keeps tallying up because guns are extremely accessible in this age, and leaders are doing nothing to restrict this access, even after seeing how much of an impact it has had on our country. By the time they act, it will be too late.
