    • Abstract:
      The article explores the founding of Fisk University and the journey of its choir, the Fisk Jubilee Singers, in the 1870s. The choir faced discrimination and threats but managed to gain recognition and popularize Negro spirituals through their performances. The article emphasizes the historical significance of the Fisk Jubilee Singers in the context of Reconstruction and the efforts to reshape the world for Black people. It also highlights the importance of recognizing and celebrating the achievements of Black individuals and addressing the erasure of Black history. [Extracted from the article]
