Cafe Society - Black

(Photo by William P. Gottlieb)One of the most iconic jazz singers of the 20th century, known affectionately as "Lady Day," carved her name into history with deeply emotive vocals and socially charged performances. In 1939, at New York City's Café Society, she delivered a chilling rendition of "Strange Fruit," a haunting protest song that laid bare the brutal realities of racial violence and lynching in America. With raw emotion and unflinching conviction, her performance forced the audience to confront the deep-seated injustices of the time, transforming the song into a powerful anthem for civil rights.
