Billie Holiday by Robin Sidhu https://padlet.com/rsidhu5/ytiyr0nma9xbwiom Strange Fruit en-us 2022-04-11 04:28:38 UTC 2025-12-05 10:06:18 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/rsidhu5/ytiyr0nma9xbwiom/wish/2138755871 It devasted me to see the cruelty of humans in that era. Racism seem very common at that time and I can see evil smiles on people's faces looking at the dead men that were hanged. In my opinion, it is just like another normal day for them.
