Do you remember the first time you heard "Strange Fruit"?
Please look into your comment section towards the bottom. On every post the same person is trashing the host. It’s not cool. I enjoy the real and what the ladies bring .
I'm sure I heard it before, but I really HEARD in an international studies class. I and my black girlfriend, two of four in the whole class, cried through it.
I was a college student taking an African American anthologies class. Changed my life!
In Lady Sings the Blues 1973. And then reading about it in Ladyday’s autobiography and buying an LP called the commodore days hearing the first recording. It prompted my Learning about both the songs creation and the history it describes. That’s nearly 50 years ago and it still moves me.
Yes. I was a teen & had a Sounds of Blackness CD on repeat as I slept. I had heard it but the 1st time I actually *HEARD* it was that night when I woke to "blood on the leaves... blood at the root... black bodies swingin'..."
It scared the mess out of me.
Andra cussing takes me out😭🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The lyrics to Strange Fruit are so eerie and haunting. I have trouble singing that song because the words paint such a horribly vivid image for me. 🎶 🎙
She’s so gracious and a class act. Love her.
Beautifully put. I couldn’t agree more about the feeling of the song and importance
The way she articulated the legacy of the systems put into place by Hoover was so on point.
Beautiful interview and the ladies always do a great job allowing their guest to speak!Kudos 👏👏👏
Why haven't a lot changed since Strange Fruit? We are still being killed...now on national tv and still no change.
A song isn’t going to bring change,
@@ozz2226 I totally agree!
Don't even be like that. It is MUCH better and MUCH different now.
She’s absolutely right I felt physical pain and sickness singing “strange fruits” I was so outraged and angry
Andra is speaking straight facts.
I was a little annoyed and frustrated by the hosts when she was talking about Strange Fruit. Jeannie tried to chime in at one point and it felt disrespectful because she will never understand the pain behind that song. And while the “where is your mom joke” was funny it wasn’t appropriate to make a lighthearted comment at that time.
"Murder by self"... very powerful words
I love HER so much you can tell SHE is really learning to be HER authentic self so beautiful
Simply a fantastic job!
She did an absolutely amazing job portraying Billie Holiday!
A very intelligent woman speaking about a remarkable woman
i love her
A phenomenal film. A phenomenal lead actress. So glad this story was told. Thanks to Lee Daniels for insisting the junkie narrative is not all that we know now.
In my opinion it's not what "we know now" it's what most of the world believes because of the narrative spun by Higher Officials about persons of color. There only seemed to be a few ways to be painted as a black person who felt it was wrong for the treatment of their people and wanted change. Historical accuracy of a series or movie is more important then the documented accuracy of the United States and the treatment of it's inhabitants or how food or medication could affect you later in life or I don't know the accuracy of "is it a moon or planet" or being correct about the weather. I have always wondered why the world is so easily manipulated into caring about celebrities gossip then what truly affects our rights as "citizens" in our city, county, state. Sorry to ramble but it just came
She is fabulous but Billie didn't have such light skin and eyes? But to be honest she does look like her in a weird way
Her story is soooooo sad
