Fisk Jubilee Singers Perform for Queen Victoria and European Royalty
The Fisk Jubilee Singers embark on a European tour, performing before Queen Victoria, Kaiser Wilhelm I, and other heads of state. Their renditions of African American spirituals earn standing ovations and introduce the world to a distinctly Black American art form. Total fundraising across multiple tours exceeded $150,000, building Jubilee Hall.
