North Nashville Home Near Fisk, Meharry and Tennessee State

In 1871, Fisk University was running out of money, so a group of students took the school's treasury and went on tour. They became the Fisk Jubilee Singers, and what they raised helped build Jubilee Hall. Five years later, Meharry Medical College admitted its first students and became the first medical school in the South for African Americans. In 1912, Tennessee State University opened with 247 students, and its Tigerbelles went on to win Olympic gold.
