Fisk University is a private historically black university founded in 1866, just after the American Civil War. Established by the American Missionary Association to educate newly freed slaves, Fisk played a pivotal role in the advancement of African American education. The university is renowned for its academic excellence and its contributions to music; most notably as the original home of the Fisk Jubilee Singers, formed in 1871 to raise funds for the financially struggling institution through performances of spirituals. The Jubilee Singers’ tours were instrumental in introducing African American musical traditions to a wider audience nationally and internationally. Located in Nashville, Fisk University continues to be a leading HBCU with a strong commitment to liberal arts education and research.
