African Heritage Month is a time to honour the rich history, resilience, and cultural contributions of Black communities across the world.

Each year, we celebrate through stories—stories that inspire, educate, and amplify Black voices.

This year, we’re bringing you a special Trivia Challenge featuring books, authors, and historical figures reflective of the Black community. From powerful memoirs and award-winning fiction to groundbreaking plays and must-read children’s books, this trivia is a chance to test your literary knowledge and discover new reads along the way.

Think you know your stuff? Take the quiz below and celebrate Black heritage with us!
