Music from the Hearts of America - University of Maryland Baltimore Campus—Jubilee Singers

Formed in 2001, the Jubilee Singers specialize in sacred music with an emphasis on African American composers. Join us for a performance in three sections, each focusing on a different part of African American history. The journey of the Atlantic Slave trade, enduring the middle passage, the selling of slaves, an underground railroad experience, memories of the Civil Rights movement, and the bravery and resilience of the enslaved Africans will be told in story telling style by Prof. Janice Jackson, interweaved between musical selections from the African American folk tradition.
