Summary
The Fisk Jubilee Singers, a choir from Fisk University, embarked on a tour in 1871, performing Black spirituals that captivated audiences from the White House to Europe. Their success led to the nickname Music City for Nashville, as Queen Victoria herself declared them a city of music. The groups legacy endures, with a Grammy win in 2021, and their story is a testament to the power of music and perseverance. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
