I am old enough to recall what the South was and what many would like to return to. Too many must have an agreed-on inferior so they can feel superior. Not justified, but rather an addictive "group think".
I have a lovely pigmented lady friend of island heritage. She prefers to live abroad saying that America is too dangerous for those of color, even if the color is light, especially for the very intelligent. Well-spoken educated "blacks" are "uppity" as is said.

Great composit Jack and a good reminder of the Billy Holiday performance of "Strange Fruit".

Unfortunately the saying "The song remembers when" applies here. But what a poignant reminder in a very powerful song.

I heard Buffie St. Marie sing in Toronto in the late 60s or early 70s in a 'hole in a wall' type of establishment. The song was 'Universal Soldier'... I suspect I know the kind of shivers Holiday's song produced...

I heard Buffie St. Marie in Los Angeles in 1967. She sang "Dress maker", I have tried to find that song but no luck.
