Singer Rebecca Ferguson says she will accept Donald Trump's invitation to sing at his inauguration under one condition: she wants to sing "Strange Fruit."

The song, originally performed by Billie Holiday based on a poem by Abel Meeropol, contains gut-wrenching imagery of black lynching victims swinging from Southern tree limbs in the early 20th century.
