Put your YEG knowledge to the test! The Edmonton City as Museum Project presents an afternoon of trivia - AFROQUIZzing Edition.
This January, come warm up with ECAMP at a fun afternoon of local history trivia, drinks, and prizes! Guest quizmaster Donna Coombs-Montrose - Edmonton's Historian Laureate - will lead guests through three rounds of questions.
Our theme this time is Black history in Edmonton. We'll be featuring a pop-up ECAMP exhibit of artifacts relating to the trivia questions.
Not a history expert? Don't worry! Beginners are welcome. This time around, you'll be playing individually.
Our intrepid team includes research support from Jeannette Austin-Odina (co-creator of AfroQuiz, still running strong after 31 years) and Dr. Jennifer Kelly (elder and curator of ECAMP's virtual exhibit And Still We Rise: A Black Presence in Alberta, late 1800s – 1970s).
