Established in 1865 at the former Union Army barracks near the present site of Union Station, Fisk University in Nashville, Tennessee was the first educational facility set up to educate freed slaves and their children and was named in honour of General Clinton B. Fisk of the Tennessee Freedmen's Bureau. Fisk's world-famous Jubilee Singers originated as a group of students who first set out to tour the United States and Europe in October 1871 simply in an attempt to raise enough money to keep their debt-ridden university open. In 1874, they embarked on a fund-raising tour of Britain, where they had a particular impact on the people of Wales. Such was their popularity in Swansea that further concerts had to be hastily arranged and a total of $20,000 was raised to further their appeal - sufficient to help build Fisk University's Jubilee Hall, the first permanent structure built for the education of black students. In 1907, the choir returned on a goodwill visit to thank the citizens of Swansea for their generosity, with all monies raised at concerts donated to the city's charitable causes.
