Give Me Wings: How a Choir of Slaves Took on the World

Changing minds one song at a time. The 1800s were a dangerous time to be a black girl in the United States, especially if you were born a slave. Ella Sheppard was such a girl, but her family bought their freedom and moved to Ohio where slavery was illegal; they even scraped enough money together to send Ella to school and buy her a piano. In 1871, when her school ran out of money and was on the brink of closure, Ella became a founding member of a traveling choir, the Jubilee Singers, to help raise funds for the Fisk Free Colored School, later known as Fisk University. Framed within Ellaâ€™s inspiring story, Give Me Wings! is narrative nonfiction at its finest, taking readers through one of historyâ€™s most tumultuous and dramatic times, touching on the Civil War, Emancipation, and the Reconstruction Era.
