An African American a cappella ensemble consisting of students at Fisk University organized in 1871 to tour and raise funds for college. The Fisk Jubilee Singers became famous worldwide.
In 1882, a baseball team was formed to become the Fisk University B. B. C. (Base Ball Club), playing other Black college and independent teams.
In this episode, learn about the part Fisk Jubilee Hall played in the foundation of Nashville’s baseball history, and four Fisk students, Comer Cox, Halley Harding, Bill Kindle, and Frank Leland, who played in the Negro Leagues, too!
