Its a matter of debate. I thought it was New Orleans but that could have been Jazz.

In the heart of the first black man, woman or child whom was "untimely ripped" from the womb of Mother Africa. He/she could not speak at first so the thoughts came out in music in New Orleans, LA where the white man could also learn a lesson. Go listen to Billie Holiday's "Strange Fruit" and you will swear her drug-scarred eyes actually saw the climax of a lynching before N'Awlins heard the victim's last breath.
