Let's Start this Quiz

Engage in a quiz to check your understanding of Black History. In the United States during the early 20th century, there was a test called The Black Test. It was a set of standardized exams that was given to black students as a means of determining whether or not they were capable of succeeding academically when admitted to white schools. It is on record that most often than not these tests were racial discrimination and were meant to make black students fail. The civil rights campaigns took an important step when the Tests for Blacks occurred and this was criticized by equality advocates and social justice defenders.
