Civil rights protests and campaigns Quiz

About this quiz

What you’ll practice

This quiz builds recognition of major protests, campaigns, organizations, and tactics used during the Civil Rights Era. You’ll connect events to places, leaders, goals, and the immediate results that shaped the movement.

Each question has 4 options and there’s no timer, so you can think through context clues and eliminate choices carefully.

Difficulty and quiz setup

Difficulty is mixed on purpose: straightforward identification questions are balanced with items that ask you to compare strategies, sequence events, or match campaigns to outcomes. Before you start, choose how many questions you want to answer and select a difficulty level to keep the session quick, focused, or more challenging.

Common pitfalls to avoid

Mixing up similarly named organizations and campaigns (local vs national)
Confusing the order of key events and the cause-and-effect between them
Over-attributing actions to one leader when coalitions drove many campaigns
Missing geographic context (city/state) that distinguishes similar protests
Treating all tactics as the same; boycotts, sit-ins, marches, and legal action had different aims

Tips to improve your score

Use the no-timer format to pause and recall the campaign’s goal, location, and method before choosing an option. If you miss a question, note what the distractors were trying to trick you into confusing, then look for that pattern in later items.
