The Texas Tech University Women’s Studies Program is celebrating Black History Month by showcasing women past, present and future. Taking inspiration from the National Women’s History Project, we honor women who helped and are continuing to help create a better world for the times in which they lived as well as for future generations.
Throughout the month of February & March, we will test your knowledge of the history of women and women’s achievements through an online trivia game.
