College Profile for : Fisk University

Fisk University is a historically-black university in Nashville, Tennessee, U.S. In 1952, Fisk was the first historically-black college or university to earn a Phi Beta Kappa charter. The world-famous Fisk Jubilee Singers started as a group of students who traveled to earn enough money to save the school and to raise funds to build the first permanent structure in the country built for the education of newly-freed slaves. They succeeded and funded construction of the renowned Jubilee Hall. On March 12, 2008, Nashville's Metro Council passed a resolution declaring March 19th Fisk University Day. (from wikipedia)
