You may be uncomfortable with this answer. In the 1800s and early 1900s in parts of the US, African-American men that were accused of wrongdoing (which might include not "knowing their place") were subject to mob violence, including being lynched- hanged from a tree until dead- and their bodies left hanging as a warning to others. This was sometimes referred to as the "strange fruit" hanging from the trees.
