Memorials, Recognition - Fisk University, 160th anniversary -

Senate Joint Resolution 662 is a non-binding resolution passed by the Tennessee General Assembly to formally honor Fisk University on its 160th anniversary, recognizing its founding in 1866, cultural contributions (including the Fisk Jubilee Singers), and notable alumni like W.E.B. Du Bois and John Lewis. The resolution was unanimously adopted by both the Senate and House, with no opposition, and is now pending the Governor's signature for final approval. As a commemorative measure, it has no legal effect or policy impact but serves to acknowledge the university's historical significance to Nashville and Tennessee.
