Students celebrate Black History Month with trivia
Trivia competitions were a way to bring campus organizations together to celebrate Black History Month’s Unity week.
On Monday cultural sorority Delta Sigma Theta faced cultural sorority Zeta Phi Beta and fraternity Phi Beta Sigma, called the Blue and White Family, in Black History Family Feud
“There’s not a lot of people in attendance, so you have to play,” said Delta Sigma Theta president Raquiba Robinson to the 25 people in the Bovee University Center Lake Michigan Room.
Prominent blacks, historic events and famous quotes were just a few of the topics covered in the modified version of the popular game show.
The event was the first of Unity Week, where minority Greek organizations and other minority organizations came together to celebrate their cultural bonds.
Bags of candy were available for participants, while the Lightning Round winner won a free pass to an after party from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. on Feb. 24 in the Bovee University Center following a fashion show.
“I haven’t been to any parties this semester,” said Jennifer Cuba, a Missouri junior and winner of the Lightning Round. “It felt good to win by one question.”
Questions varied in difficulty, ranging from facts about Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks to amendments to the Constitution.
“There were a few facts that I didn’t know,” said Detroit senior Steven Henry, one of the contestants.
