(fr) Abel Meeropol (10 de fevereiro de 1903 - 30 de outubro de 1986) foi um escritor e compositor americano, mais conhecido por seu pseudônimo Lewis Allan. (pt) Abel Meeropol (Pseudonym: Lewis Allan; * 19. Februar 1903 in New York City; † 30. Oktober 1986 in Longmeadow, Massachusetts) war ein US-amerikanischer Songwriter und Schriftsteller. Meeropol besuchte bis 1921 die Dewitt Clinton High School in der New Yorker Bronx, an der er ab 1928 auch 17 Jahre lang als Lehrer für englische Literatur unterrichtete. Daneben war er als Autor für Theater, Film, Rundfunk und Fernsehen tätig und politisch in der Kommunistischen Partei aktiv. Unter dem Eindruck von Photos des Lynchmordes an Thomas Shipp und Abram Smith schrieb er 1937 den Song Strange Fruit, für den er auch die Melodie komponierte. Das antirassistische Lied wurde berühmt in der Interpretation von Billie Holiday und wurde 1978 in die Grammy Hall of Fame eingeführt. (de) Abel Meeropol (New York, 10 febbraio 1903 – Longmeadow, 30 ottobre 1986) è stato uno scrittore e insegnante statunitense. Era un insegnante ebreo-russo del Bronx, membro del Partito Comunista degli Stati Uniti d'America. Quando vide la foto scattata da Lawrence Beitler del linciaggio di Thomas Shipp e Abram Smith a Marion (Indiana), ne ricavò un'impressione talmente forte che non riuscì a dormire per giorni; scrisse quindi la poesia Bitter Fruit (Frutto amaro), e la pubblicò con lo pseudonimo di Lewis Allan (i nomi dei suoi figli morti in tenera età) sulla rivista New York Teacher e nel giornale comunista New Masses.
