Random question Favourite person/event in history and why?

I keep responding to so many global questions oops. I absolutely adore Billie Holiday because Iā€™m a big fan of jazz and swing first and foremost. Sheā€™s most notable for singing the song ā€œStrange Fruitā€ which was a protest anthem against lynching of African Americans. I was first introduced to her in my high school English class and I was so fascinated by her I dedicated like 2 weeks to researching whatever I could find about her lmao. Many people donā€™t know this but Billie holiday was also incredibly openly bisexual! Being bisexual, compounded with being a black woman at that time was like having a big red target on your back so i have so much respect for her and her craft. Her life was one of tragedy and I hope sheā€™s resting well because she deserves it after having such a profound impact on the world of jazz
