Indiana Black History Challenge
Welcome to the 2012 Indiana Black History Challenge!
First, investigate black Hoosiers in the Civil War in the Study Guide. Print a copy of the 2012 game card, answer the 10 questions and return it to the Eugene and Marilyn Glick Indiana History Center by Wednesday, Feb. 29. Or click here to play online.
Two tickets to the Indiana Experience at the History Center and a Donatos pizza coupon will be awarded to the first 5,000 entrants. Get all 10 questions right, and you could win the Family Fun Pack grand prize - an overnight stay at the Indianapolis Marriott Downtown; four tickets to The Children's Museum of Indianapolis; a $25 gift certificate to the Indianapolis Colts Grille; and a family membership to the Indiana Historical Society, which includes free admission to the Indiana Experience for a year. Thirty runners-up will receive a family four-pack of tickets to an Indianapolis Indians game.

Teachers, get your students involved in the Challenge! Students may participate individually or as a class with their teacher. Each student should complete a separate game card, including the student's name, teacher's name, school address and school phone number. When the teacher returns the completed game cards to the History Center, he or she will receive a prize for each student.
