Strange Fruit – A Terrifying Work of Art

I posted this short documentary as a way of putting the death of Trayvon Martin into context.  Many Americans either don’t know or have forgotten the horror of this episode in our history.  And, whether you agree with the verdict or not, Trayvon Martin’s is one more in a long string of unpunished murders of black men and boys.  We should all be mindful of the kinds of atrocities that can happen when a society turns a blind eye to vigilantism.
