  • Jubilee Singers Archives 1858-1924 Reprocessed by Aisha M. Johnson Special Collections Librarian Fisk University September 2013
    Jubilee Singers Archives 1858-1924 Reprocessed by Aisha M. Johnson Special Collections Librarian Fisk University September 2013 Background: The tradition of excellence at Fisk has developed out of a history marked by struggle and uncertainty. The Fisk Jubilee Singers originated as a group of students who set out on a concert tour of the North on October 6, 1871 to save a financially ailing school. Their ages ranged from fifteen to twenty-five years old. The idea to form the group was conceived by George L. White, the University’s treasurer, against the disapproval of the University. White borrowed money for the tour. In the beginning, the group met with failure, singing classical and popular music. When they began to sing slave songs, they bought spirituals to the attention of the world during their national and European concerts. It was White who gave them the name Jubilee Singers in memory of the Jewish Year of Jubilee. The original Jubilee Singers (1871) are Minnie Tate, Greene Evans, Isaac Dickerson, Jennie Jackson, Maggie Porter, Ella Sheppard, Thomas Rutling, Benjamin Holmes, Eliza Walker, and George White as director. The Singers raised $150,000, which went to the building of Jubilee Hall, now a historic landmark. Today, the tradition of the Jubilee Singers continues at Fisk University. On October 6th of every year, Fisk University pauses to observe the anniversary of the singers' departure from campus in 1871. The contemporary Jubilee Singers perform during the University convocation and conclude the day's ceremonies with a pilgrimage to the grave sites of the original Jubilee Singers to sing.

    ARENA’S PAGE STUDY GUIDE CONTENTS The Play Meet the Playwright/Director History of Spirituals JUBILEE Vocal Arrangements in Jubilee Jubilee Singers vs Minstrelsy Fisk University Fisk Jubilee Singers Three Big Questions Resources THE PLAY In 1866, six months after the end of the Civil War and two years after the Emancipation Proclamation, Fisk University was established to educate newly freed enslaved people. By 1871, however, Fisk University was severely in debt and in danger of closing. That year George L. White, the school’s treasurer and a music professor, and Ella Sheppard, an African-American, self-taught singer, pianist and composer, established a choral ensemble of students in the hopes of raising money. The nine-‐ member group of African-American artists —The Fisk Jubilee Singers— embarked on a national tour to save their beloved university. Singing the songs of their ancestors, the Jubilees toured the nation, and then the world, challenging and shattering racial barriers.
