BROUGHT TO YOU BY…
Throughout history, trivia has always been more than a game.
In ancient Greece, scholars tested each other’s wit in symposiums. In 12th-century Baghdad, thinkers debated questions in bustling libraries. Even in medieval Europe, monarchs used riddles and logic games to assess the sharpness of their advisors.
Today, a new chapter in that centuries-old tradition is being written, one that blends human curiosity with cutting-edge Web3 technology.
We’re proud to announce the launch of the MOT Token on GeckoTerminal, the official utility token of the Masters of Trivia platform. Built on the Solana blockchain and backed by a thriving global community of over 200,000 players, MOT is the first step in transforming trivia into an economic, educational, and social engine for the 21st century.

Rosa Parks: One Seat, One Stand
👉 Marquee Event
December 1, 1955 — In a moment that would ignite a movement, Rosa Parks, a Black seamstress and activist, refused to give up her seat to a white passenger on a segregated bus in Montgomery, Alabama. Her arrest that day led to the Montgomery Bus Boycott, a 381-day protest that crippled the city’s transit system and launched the national civil rights movement.
The boycott introduced the country—and the world—to a young minister named Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who emerged as a central figure in the fight against racial injustice.
This act of peaceful defiance became a watershed moment in the long struggle against Jim Crow laws and institutionalized segregation in the United States.
📌 Why This Matters
Rosa Parks' action wasn’t spontaneous, it was the product of courage, planning, and purpose.
Her stand became a symbol of dignity and resistance. It challenged the constitutionality of segregation, helped dismantle "separate but equal," and emboldened a generation to rise against systemic racism.
The Montgomery Bus Boycott marked one of the first large-scale demonstrations against segregation—and it worked. In 1956, the Supreme Court ruled that bus segregation was unconstitutional.
🎯 How Much do you Know about Rosa Parks?
💡 Did you know?
Rosa Parks was not sitting in the "whites-only" section. She was seated in the “colored” section, but refused to move when asked.
She was already a longtime NAACP member and activist.
The boycott was meticulously organized: carpools, walking brigades, and church coordination sustained it for over a year.
Rosa Parks’ arrest photo has become an iconic image of resistance.
This wasn’t just about a seat—it was about a system that denied dignity.
