Fisk University. Just after the end of the Civil War, three men - John Ogden, the Reverend Erastus Milo Cravath, and the Reverend Edward P. Smith - shared a dream of an educational institution that would be open to all, regardless of race, and that would measure itself by the highest standards of American education at its best. Their dream was incorporated as Nashville’s Fisk University on August 22, 1867, named in honor of General Clinton B. Fisk who provided the new institution with its first facilities in former Union Army barracks.
In 1871, Fisk’s student choir, the Jubilee Singers, went on tour to raise funds for the University. From what ultimately became a world tour, the choir was successful in raising funds that preserved Fisk and paid for the construction of Jubilee Hall, now a designated National Historical Landmark and the dramatic focal point of Fisk’s campus. With Fisk’s rich history, a tour of this campus - including Jubilee Hall - is deeply gratifying and inspiring to American history and African-American history buffs. Ask the friendly staff at the Econolodge Nashville for more information and directions to the campus. [Top]
