The Black History Common Knowledge Challenge is
available to high school and college students in the
United States. This challenge tests the knowledge of
Black cultural, education, and milestones of the
African-American experience. Dr. Carter G. Woodson, a
staunch advocate for the incorporation of Black
History as an authentic and important component of
American History teachings, originated "Black History
Week" in 1926. In the 1960s, the concept developed
into its current status -- "Black History Month."
Quiz dates are February 11-24. Please visit the
