Black History Quiz Bowl 2014 Photos!

In 2014, the theme of our Black History Quiz Bowl was Buds of Promise. We believe that each participant in BCDI-G's 28th annual quiz bowl stands on the unique culture, heritage, and promises of our African ancestors. It is with this promise, that we create a better today, and invest in our shared tomorrow. Through our young people, tomorrow we will harvest  buds of promise, producing the next generation of innovators, entrepreneurs, and leaders!

Black Child Development Institute of Greensboro, Inc. (BCDI-G) annually sponsors the Black History Quiz Bowl in an effort to share the rich history, heritage and culture of African Americans with children, youth and families. Formulated to be a friendly competition among middle school and high school aged youth, the Annual Black History Quiz Bowl provides the opportunity to engage the community in supporting the efforts of youngsters as they gain significant knowledge which will encourage further study.

Each year middle and high school students from local schools, churches and community organizations form teams that study from an extensive resource packet, prepared by a hand selected team by BCDI-G. This resource packet contains a myriad of information on the rich culture, heritage and accomplishments of Africans and African Americans and allows students to build their knowledge, boost their self esteem, and teach them the value of team work.

The 2014 participants included a Middle School Division composed of the following teams: the Aycock Lions (Aycock Middle School), Episcopal Church of the Redeemer, and the Junior Greensboro Kwanzaa Collective.  The High School Division was made up of a team from Destiny Christian Center and The Chosen 50.
