On this World Art Day, sharing a sobering exhibition by artist and former fashion designer Nicole Farhi. Entitled "J’Accuse," the piece displays 25 busts of victims of injustices, serving time in prison—or facing a death sentence—for an offense they did not commit. Among the faces is Ethel Rosenberg, who was wrongly convicted and executed during the McCarthy era for conspiracy to commit espionage.

Today's Strange Fruit Mention of the Day: Protest songs in honor of Black Music Month (in June), featuring Joe Hinton and Billie Holiday.

"In 1939, singer Billie Holiday recorded a song called 'Strange Fruit' – a song composed by Jewish American Abel Meeropol (under the pseudonym Lewis Allan). The story goes that the lyrics were taken from a poem Meeropol wrote which was published in 1937. The protest song depicts the lynching of Black Americans hanging on trees like fruit. It makes you wonder why it took until 2022 to pass the Emmett Till Anti-Lynching Law."

Although empty of anything except the chair, the image is haunting, to say the least.”
