Billie Holiday
Billie Holiday was an American jazz and swing music singer. She was born Eleanora Fagan on April 7, 1915 in Philadelphia. Her vocal style, strongly inspired by jazz instrumentalists, pioneered a new way of manipulating phrasing and tempo. She also sang stories that gave insight into African American life, such as Strange Fruit. This song protests the lynching of African Americans. She won four Grammy’s posthumously. Holiday died of cirrhosis on July 17, 1959, at age 44.

Reflections
A continuation of the Best Trip Ever images. We explored the world around Washington DC and became very familiar with the public transit system. I liked the beautiful design with clean white walls. For a subway, it felt like a wide open space.
