Fisk University is a historically Black university founded in 1866, shortly after the American Civil War. Established by the American Missionary Association to educate newly freed African Americans, it holds a significant place in the history of higher education and the Civil Rights Movement. The university is renowned for its academic rigor, particularly in fields like biology, pre-med, and the humanities.

Fisk’s Jubilee Singers, formed in 1871 to raise funds for the struggling university, are particularly notable for preserving and popularizing African American spirituals. The ensemble toured extensively both domestically and internationally, introducing this musical tradition to a wider audience and significantly impacting American musical culture. The campus itself is a designated National Historic Landmark recognized for its architectural significance.
