Today's Saturday Surprise Challenge is songs and music. I chose Billie Holiday singing Strange Fruit. Postcard and photo images from Wikimedia Commons of clockwise from top left: George Meadows, 1889, Pratt Mines, Alabama; Rubin Stacy, 1935, Fort Lauderdale, Florida; Jesse
Washington, Waco, Texas, 1916; Laura Nelson, 1911, Okemah, Oklahoma; Michael Donald, 1981, Mobile Alabama. Stamps from Stampsmith (Holiday) and Funkadelic (tree). Photo corner source unknown. Sheet music from Musicnotes.
This is a wonderful tribute to Billie Holiday...one of my favourite singers. There are so many wonderful details. Thank you so much for participating in this week's Saturday Surprise challenge.
