I wonder why the state of Florida rejected a 2023 proposal for an Advanced Placement African American Studies course, saying it 'lacked educational value.' What? When I was a New York City high school senior (final spring semester) I already had enough credits to graduate. In this all elective closing semester I took an Asian - African history course because I was interested in learning more about both cultures. This course turned me on to "Before the Mayflower: A History of the Negro in America 1619 - 1964" written by Johnson Publishing Company editor Lerone Bennett Jr. The book was part of the required reading for the course. Post high school, on my journey through life I'm better off as a USA citizen thanks to Bennett's presentation of detailed historic facts. He begins his reveal in 1492. Back to today. Why are some people afraid of learning about the truth? Haters didn't stop me 25 years ago from creating my first Black history digital resource in 1998. See the Quikthinking Software timeline. Time marches on in our 25th anniversary year of creating Black history content. Black History Quiz for Android was released in 2013. The iPhone version followed in 2018. I researched and wrote all of the questions myself. In this 4 minute video with narration below I quickly play the game on an Android and iPad in real time. Hopefully you won't think that this 100% American trivia quiz lacks educational value. You may find it entertaining too!

Trivia can get boring when all of the questions are multiple choice with just one answer to each question. To make things more interesting and fun, it took much longer than we planned to develop the RnB and Hip Hop Quiz game app for iPhone and iPad even though we based it on our preexisting Android version. Watch the quick 20 second video below. We wrote nearly 600 questions, about 70% are brand new (single answer, multiple answer, and true or false) for the iPhone - iPad version.

In the world of music, once every decade or so the past catches up to the present. That's why many of the best old songs are updated by contemporary artists about once every 10 years. Before our exciting career in software app development, we were responsible for programming, playing, and announcing music at a long list of very successful radio stations and broadcast networks. With our world of song knowledge along with shared stories in conversation with popular recording artists we created the mobile game trivia app R&B Music Quiz Soul for Android in November, 2015. R&B Music Quiz Soul for iPhone has just been completed. Hundreds of tasty trivia teasers are included in this treasure trove of fun with the focus on Rhythm and Blues. Whereas the Android version of the app concentrates on hundreds of multiple choice questions, the iPhone version adds a picture quiz, right or wrong quiz (true or false), and also includes a collection of multiple choice trivia. The artists mentioned in the app span seven decades from the 1950's to the 2000's. Can you guess who had the most top 10 hits? How about who spent the most weeks at #1 on the music charts? R&B Music Quiz Soul was created for the casual music fan. You don't have to be an expert to enjoy the app. The hit quiz questions just keep on comin' bringing back magical memories. We are lucky to have a certified in-house music expert who can share this cultural appreciation with you. Under our umbrella we have a separate website devoted to the world of music. It's now offline and is being revised for a re-launch late in 2019. Stay tuned! For now, enjoy R&B Music Quiz Soul for Android. The iPhone version will be released within the next 14 days or sooner. Update (March 23, 2019): R&B Music Quiz Soul for iPhone is released on the App Store.

We recently received a comment about our original Black History Quiz. "Limited questions" was the entire statement. Fictional British detective Sherlock Holmes would have fun with this one. Did the person mean not enough questions, or that the questions were limited in scope? We have moved the needle forward with each of our new African American quiz mobile apps. Black History Quiz for iPhone (2nd to market) not only increased the number of multiple choice questions, but added a true or false section, plus a photo quiz. The new flagship Black History Express app for Android added brand new quiz questions not used in Black History Quiz. Black History Express also includes a complete biography knowledge reference section. We created all of the Black History Express quiz questions using the biography reference section. Try all of these free apps. Here are the app store links: Black History quiz for iPhone or Black History Quiz for Android, and Black History Express for Android.

In the beginning, it was the music that the mass market didn’t take seriously. Now more than 25 years after many successful hip hop artists first released records, the spotlight shines on honoring them. As Tupac Shakur posthumously enters the class of 2017 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, this is a great time to flashback on the creators of rap and hip hop who definitely broadened the definition of R&B. This December, 2016 we’ll be releasing Hip Hop Quiz. This Android app is similar to our R&B Music Quiz Soul, and other quizzes in our catalog of apps. We hope you enjoy it. Here I am with Flavor Flav in January, 2014 before a Public Enemy concert in New Jersey.
