The Jubilee Singers: And Their Campaign For Twenty Thousand Dollars (1873) is a historical book written by Gustavus D. Pike. The book tells the story of the Jubilee Singers, a group of African American students from Fisk University in Nashville, Tennessee, who embarked on a fundraising tour in 1871 to save their school from financial ruin. The tour took them across the United States and Europe, where they performed traditional spirituals and other songs to raise money for their school. The book chronicles their struggles and successes on the tour, as well as the racial prejudice and discrimination they faced along the way. It also provides insight into the history of African American music and the role it played in the fight for civil rights. Overall, The Jubilee Singers is a fascinating account of a group of young people who overcame enormous obstacles to achieve their goals and make a significant impact on American history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
