Conclusion
Looking for information about the Brown Brothers Jubilee Quartet was very challenging. Online, there is virtually no record or information about them, only about 4 songs they created. Overall, learning about Jubilee Quartets were interesting because you see quartets like barbershop quartets in the movies, but it’s nice to learn about the black history within it.
