Winners of The Secret Writer Challenge!

It’s the last day of Black History month, because it’s a leap year. I’m so grateful for that one extra day! Hooray for 29 days of celebrating Black History! I hope everyone that read through the entries got a taste of what it was like for Black people living in America during the 1800s. I absolutely love history, so this prompt was definitely my favorite so far.

If you haven’t already, you can check out the entries here:

So, who won? Well, I’m not going to reveal it yet. You’ll have to wait until you read to the end. For anyone who reads my work regularly, you know RP loves a good suspense.

I’d like to have a little Black History Trivia fun before getting into who won the challenge. The first two (2) people to answer all of the following questions below correctly and submit their final answers in the comments section will receive a $10.00 tip today!!! 🎉🎉🎉

(I hated pop quizzes in school, but I have to admit that I like giving them! 😂)
