She was one of the first to sing Abel Meeropol’s, “Strange Fruit,” and performed the most well-known version of the anti-lynching song.

And Fletcher conducted her first drug bust.<br><a href="https://youtu.be/-DGY9HvChXk" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">youtu.be/-DGY9HvChXk</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>workingclass</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LaborHistory</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/jazz" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>jazz</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/billieholiday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>billieholiday</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/strangefruit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>strangefruit</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/racism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>racism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/addiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>addiction</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/drugs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>drugs</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/lynching" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>lynching</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/prison" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>prison</span></a></p>
