George White, Fisk University: The Jubilee Singers and the Revival of African Spirituals

While writing one of my favorite stories, Fanny Crosby, I stumbled upon a gem. The mostly unknown story of the Jubilee Singers, from Fisk University, in Nashville Tennessee. In this short, but touching story, about a 15 minute read, you will learn how the cultural treasure of African Spirituals were introduced to America, and to the world in 1871.
