SPIRITUALS ACROSS THE ATLANTIC.

The article highlights the success of the Fisk Jubilee Singers, a choir of African Americans that toured Great Britain from 1873 to 1874 hoping to raise money for Fisk University in Nashville, Tennessee. Credit is given to the American Missionary Association for its promotional strategy for the Fisk Jubilee Singers. Focus is given on the group's renditions of popular hymns, secular songs and slave songs that became known as spirituals, as well as their campaign against American racism.
