Fisk University is a historically black university founded in 1866 in Nashville, Tennessee, U.S. The world-famous Fisk Jubilee Singers started as a group of students who performed to earn enough money to save the school at a critical time of financial shortages. They toured to raise funds to build the first building for the education of freedmen. They succeeded and funded construction of the renowned Jubilee Hall, now a designated National Historic Landmark.

- Fisk University is a historically black university founded in 1866 in Nashville, Tennessee, U.S. The world-famous Fisk Jubilee Singers started as a group of students who performed to earn enough money to save the school at a critical time of financial shortages. They toured to raise funds to build the first building for the education of freedmen. They succeeded and funded construction of the renowned Jubilee Hall, now a designated National Historic Landmark. The 40-acre campus is a historic district listed on the National Register of Historic Places. In 1930 Fisk was the first African-American institution to gain accreditation by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. Accreditations for specialized programs quickly followed. In 1952, Fisk was the first predominantly black college to earn a Phi Beta Kappa charter. On March 12, 2008, Nashville's Metro Council passed a resolution declaring March 19 Fisk University Day in honor of its record of academic excellence.
- Fisk University er et privat universitet i Nashville i delstaten Tennessee, USA. Det ble grunnlagt i 1866 som svart college, og er i dag kanskje det universitetet i USA som har den mest uttalte profilen som afro-amerikansk lærested. Fisk er erklært nasjonalt historisk landemerke, og oppkalt etter general Clinton B. Fisk ved Kontoret for frigitte slaver. Først i 1947 fikk universitetet sin første afroamerikanske rektor - sosiologen Charles Spurgeon Johnson. Rektor er den kvinnelige, svarte akademikeren Hazel R. O'Leary, som var energiminister under president Bill Clinton. Ved Fisk var det ca 850 studenter i 2006.
