Summary

Chambers's Journal of Popular Literature, Science, and Art, No. 733, January… is a journal by William and Robert Chambers that was released during a time when the world was rapidly changing, and there was a push for social reform. Within its pages, there is an article focused on the Jubilee Singers, who were once slaves. The article shares how they bravely used their voices to collect funds for Fisk University, a school created for African Americans after the Civil War. As they traveled, they faced prejudice but shared their culture through music. This story shows the importance of freedom, the power of education, and the slow move toward equality during that period.
