Summary
Details

The Jubilee Singers, And Their Campaign for Twenty Thousand Dollars recounts the story of the Fisk Jubilee Singers, a group of African American students from Fisk University who toured the United States and Europe in the 1870s to raise money for their financially struggling university. Led by Gustavus D. Pike, the singers captivated audiences with their renditions of spirituals, bringing this uniquely African American musical form to a wider audience.

This book details their journey, the challenges they faced, and the overwhelming success they achieved. It offers a glimpse into the post-Civil War era, highlighting the importance of education and the power of music to transcend racial barriers. The Jubilee Singers' story is one of perseverance, talent, and the enduring legacy of African American musical heritage.
