"Strange Fruit," is based on the controversial book of the same name by Lillian Smith, which was in turn inspired by the famous Billie Holiday song (wikipedia article here). It tells the "tragic story of an interracial love affair between a young black woman and a young white man in a small town in Georgia in 1920."
