This is a detailed fascinating look at the foundation of Fisk University and how its Jubilee Singers raised money for their college at a cost of superhuman personal dedication and hardship. If only we had recordings of this group! The beauty of their music made grown men weep!Those who are interested in choral singing; in the post-Civil War era; or in the development of traditionally-black universities will find much to enjoy in this book. It so well expresses the era in which the Jubilee Singers sang; the racism they stood against; the effects of their singing on audiences; personality conflicts within the group; how they even sang on street corners for spare change; toured in Europe; performed for heads of state and monarchs; etc. Just a neat book that evokes the time about which it was written in so many ways.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
