Trey’s Table Episode 421: A Choice to Change the World: The Spelman Glee Club
from Trey's Table · host Trey Smith
🎶 Before Spelman was prestigious… it was struggling to survive. After the Civil War, Black colleges faced constant financial hardship. Funding was scarce. Support was inconsistent. The hostility was real. So how did they survive? Music. The Spelman College Glee Club didn’t just sing. They toured. They raised funds. They preserved spirituals born in slavery. They represented Black excellence in a Jim Crow America that doubted their humanity. And because of that — Spelman endured. 🎙️ In this episode of Trey’s Table, we explore how music helped sustain Black education — and how Spelman became one of the most influential institutions for Black women in the world. 🎧 Listen now.
