Frequently asked questions

How should I study Black History Month dates and events?

Group events by decade and pair each person or event with its significance rather than memorizing isolated dates. Quizzing yourself on the connections, such as why a law led to a protest, sticks better than flat lists.

Where did Black History Month begin?

It grew out of Negro History Week, started in 1926 by historian Carter G. Woodson and the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History. It was expanded to a month in 1976.

Can I print the quiz as a PDF?

Yes, PDF export is included with the Plus plan at $39/year or $7.99/month. The free plan lets you study in the browser with 3 generations per month, but it does not include exports.

Do I need a credit card to try it?

No, you can start without a credit card. Students also get 40% off with a school email.
