Biographical History
Lewis Allan was the pen name of Abel Meeropol (1903-1986), a Jewish American writer and poet. He wrote numerous songs and poems, including hit songs for Frank Sinatra and Peggy Lee, and taught at DeWitt Clinton High School in the Bronx. One of his pieces, the anti-lynching poem "Strange Fruit," was performed by Billie Holliday, set to music written by Meeropol; the song was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1978. Meeropol and his wife were also the adoptive parents of the young sons of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg.
