Rebecca Ferguson may perform Trump’s inauguration, under one condition
Rebecca Ferguson a British The X-Factor alum is the most recent artist to be approached to perform at President-elect Donald Trump’s upcoming inauguration. And while many have declined with little more than a No, Ferguson has released a statement saying that she would, in fact, appear on Jan. 20 under one condition: That she could sing the 1937 protest song Strange Fruit. If you allow me to sing ‘strange fruit’ a song that has huge historical importance, a song that was blacklisted in the United States for being too controversial. Ferguson wrote in a statement posted to twitter. A song that speaks to all the disregarded and down trodden black people in the United States. A song that is a reminder of how love is the only thing that will conquer all the hatred in this world. Then I will graciously accept your invitation and see you in Washington.
