About this resource

This quiz focuses on Black popular culture in America, covering television shows, music, fashion, and social media from the 1970s through the present day. The content is most appropriate for high school students in grades 9-12, as it requires knowledge of cultural references spanning multiple decades and assumes familiarity with entertainment history, celebrity figures, and social movements. Students need a broad understanding of African American contributions to television sitcoms like "The Jeffersons" and "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air," hip-hop culture and influential artists, fashion brands that emerged from Black entrepreneurship, and contemporary social media movements. The quiz assesses cultural literacy, recognition of significant figures in entertainment and business, and understanding of how Black culture has shaped mainstream American popular culture across different mediums and time periods. Created by Christina Lerouge, a Fun teacher in US who teaches grade 14. This quiz serves as an engaging way to celebrate and recognize the significant contributions of Black Americans to popular culture while building students' cultural awareness and media literacy. Teachers can use this as a fun warm-up activity during Black History Month, as a brain break between more rigorous academic content, or as part of a broader unit on American cultural studies and social movements. The quiz works well for informal assessment of students' cultural knowledge and can spark meaningful discussions about representation in media, entrepreneurship, and the influence of Black culture on mainstream entertainment. This type of content supports social studies standards related to cultural diversity and the impact of various groups on American society, while also connecting to media literacy standards that examine how popular culture reflects and shapes social values.
