Description
1881 Jubilee Singers African-American Negro Music Underground Railroad Slavery
Founded at the end of the Civil War, Fisk University was an educational institution for freedmen and other young African American students. Five years into its life, the school began to face severe financial difficulty. The Jubilee singers were formed as a traveling music group to raise money for the school. After a very rough start, the first United States tours eventually earned $40,000 for Fisk University.
The original Jubilee Singers introduced slave songs to the world in 1871 and were instrumental in preserving this unique American musical tradition known today as Negro spirituals. They broke racial barriers in the US and abroad in the late 19th century.
This revised edition of “The Story of the Jubilee Singers”, features a portrait of the group as a frontispiece, as well as individual portraits throughout. It also contains sheet music from many of their songs.
