We Are Celebrating Black History Month

Royal American proudly celebrates Black History Month by recognizing the contributions and achievements of African Americans throughout U.S. history.

This year, to celebrate Black History Month, we’re giving our communities and corporate departments a chance to test their knowledge and compete in our weekly Black History Trivia Contest.

Team Spirit!  To encourage team spirit, pick a team captain and submit 1 weekly entry per community or corporate department.  (up to 8 people per team.)

Where can I find the quiz?  The quiz will be posted on The Dispatch every Wednesday morning in February.  Submit your answers by close of business to: diversity@royalamerican.com

Be sure to list  your team members names.  Your team will receive an entry in our prize drawing for every correct quiz submitted, for 4 possible total entries!
