Experience Black Culture in Nashville

Black history in Music City is deeply rooted, storied, and influential. It has shaped some of the city’s biggest icons, starting with the Fisk Jubilee Singers who pioneered early music in Nashville and are the reason why Music City was crowned its now internationally known nickname. The culture also inspired the birth of Nashville's iconic Hot Chicken first served at the famed Prince’s.
