The Lady'S Last Song : The U. S. Government'S War On Billie Holiday

Billie Holiday, 'Lady Day,' was just coming into her own when she was convinced to sing 'Strange Fruit,' a protest against lynching. That one act put her in the cross-hairs of Harry Anslinger, the man in charge of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics. Anslinger launched a decades-long war, not just on drugs, but on Holiday.
