Description:
Setting out initially to raise money for their university, the Fisk Jubilee Singers -- a troupe of ex-slaves and freedmen -- ended up changing the face of American music. Despite their venues of small-town churches and train stations and the hardships of poverty and racism, the Jubilee singers eventually became a popular vocal group whose admirers included Ulysses S. Grant, Frederick Douglass, Mark Twain, and Queen Victoria.
Expand description
Recounted here for the first time, the career of the Jubilee Singers followed one of the most remarkable trajectories in American history: from whipping post and auction block to concert hall and throne room.
