As we celebrate #BlackHistoryMonth, we honor #BillieHoliday's fight for equal rights which occurred on and off the stage. Even before she recorded her iconic rendition of Abel Meeropol's poem "Strange Fruit," Billie Holiday was a trailblazer for her time. The song became a "protest song" among the Civil Rights Movement, and sold 1M copies, despite troubles she faced during the recording process. It was the first recording amid the brutality and Jim Crow Discrimination. Check out the video for mo

Billie Holiday is remembered for her voice, but her life was just as intense as the music. The fame, the pressure, the surveillance, the way she was treated by the system — all of it shaped the person behind the songs. This video looks at the real Billie Holiday, not the legend version. The moments people skip over. The choices she made. The cost of being that honest, that visible, and that hard to control. Did you already know this part of her story, or did it surprise you? #billieholiday #jazz
