As we have learned in this Module, for an act to be labeled deviant or not depends on many factors, including location, audience, and the individual committing the act (Becker 1963).
Billie Holiday’s recording of Strange Fruit, a song about lynching in American society, raised awareness about the brutality of racism and white supremacy. Despite being banned from the radio after its 1939 release, Strange Fruit was named “Song of the Century,” by Time Magazine in 1999 and included in the National Recording Registry on January 27 2003, Many argue Billie Holiday’s Strange Fruit continues to resonate today.
Why was this song banned? Who is this song denouncing? Why is singing a song considered a deviant act?

Southern trees bear strange fruit
Blood on the leaves and blood at the root
Black bodies swinging in the Southern breeze
Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees
Pastoral scene of the gallant South
The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth
Scent of Magnolias, sweet and fresh
Then the sudden smell of burning flesh
Here is a fruit for the crows to pluck
For the rain to gather, for the wind to suck
For the sun to rot, for the tree to drop
Here is a strange and bitter crop
