In Walk Together Children: The 150th Anniversary of the Fisk Jubilee Singers®, Dr. Paul T. Kwami and his current students pay tribute to the original nine members of the Fisk Jubilee Singers and reflect on their roles as students and preservers of this rich legacy. By exploring the personal stories of the trailblazers who paved the way for future generations of this world-renowned ensemble, they invite viewers to learn the significance of the Negro Spirituals and their values in today’s culture and share in the unique bond of this special choral ensemble. A dual concert event celebrating the 150th Anniversary of the Fisk Jubilee Singers, the film is also a call to action for the bright future ahead for Fisk University and all of Nashville.

Created in collaboration with Dr. Kwami and producer/director Jon Royal, Walk Together Children is supported by contributions from TPAC Champion Partners Amazon and Bank of America as well as Enterprise Solutions and Delta Dental of Tennessee.

Proceeds from this On Demand rental will go to TPAC’s nonprofit mission and the Fisk Jubilee Singers Endowed Scholarship Fund.
