      <p class="tribute-timeline"><span class="year">1914</span> - Born in Cresco, Iowa</p>
      <p class="tribute-timeline"><span class="year">1933</span> - Leaves his family's farm to attend the University of Minnesota, thanks to a Depression era program known as the "National Youth Administration"</p>
      <p class="tribute-timeline"><span class="year">1935</span> - Has to stop school and save up more money. Works in the Civilian Conservation Corps, helping starving Americans. "I saw how food changed them", he said. "All of this left scars on me."</p>
      <p class="tribute-timeline"><span class="year">1937</span> - Finishes university and takes a job in the US Forestry Service</p>
      <p class="tribute-timeline"><span class="year">1938</span> - Marries wife of 69 years Margret Gibson. Gets laid off due to budget cuts. Inspired by Elvin Charles Stakman, he returns to school study under Stakman, who teaches him about breeding pest-resistent plants.</p>
      <p class="tribute-timeline"><span class="year">1941</span> - Tries to enroll in the military after the Pearl Harbor attack, but is rejected. Instead, the military asked his lab to work on waterproof glue, DDT to control malaria, disinfectants, and other applied science.</p>
      <p class="tribute-timeline"><span class="year">1942</span> - Receives a Ph.D. in Genetics and Plant Pathology</p>
      <p class="tribute-timeline"><span class="year">1944</span> - Rejects a 100% salary increase from Dupont, leaves behind his pregnant wife, and flies to Mexico to head a new plant pathology program. Over the next 16 years, his team breeds 6,000 different strains of disease resistent wheat - including different varieties for each major climate on Earth.</p>
      <p class="tribute-timeline"><span class="year">1945</span> - Discovers a way to grown wheat twice each season, doubling wheat yields</p>
      <p class="tribute-timeline"><span class="year">1953</span> - crosses a short, sturdy dwarf breed of wheat with a high-yeidling American breed, creating a strain that responds well to fertilizer. It goes on to provide 95% of Mexico's wheat.</p>
      <p class="tribute-timeline"><span class="year">1962</span> - Visits Delhi and brings his high-yielding strains of wheat to the Indian subcontinent in time to help mitigate mass starvation due to a rapidly expanding population</p>
      <p class="tribute-timeline"><span class="year">1970</span> - receives the Nobel Peace Prize</p>
      <p class="tribute-timeline"><span class="year">1983</span> - helps seven African countries dramatically increase their maize and sorghum yields</p>
      <p class="tribute-timeline"><span class="year">1984</span> - becomes a distinguished professor at Texas A&M University</p>
      <p class="tribute-timeline"><span class="year">2005</span> - states "we will have to double the world food supply by 2050." Argues that genetically modified crops are the only way we can meet the demand, as we run out of arable land. Says that GM crops are not inherently dangerous because "we've been genetically modifying plants and animals for a long time. Long before we called it science, people were selecting the best breeds."</p>

Challenge: Tribute Page - Build a Tribute Page

Hello,
You will have to set the display property of the image to block in your css.

Also, it would help if you pasted your CSS in here so we can see what you did.

To display your code in here you need to wrap it in triple back ticks. On a line by itself type three back ticks. Then on the first line below the three back ticks paste in your code. Then below your code on a new line type three more back ticks. The back tick on my keyboard is in the upper left just above the Tab key and below the Esc key. You may also be able to use Ctrl+e to automatically give you the triple back ticks while you are typing in the this editor and the cursor is on a line by itself. Alternatively, with the cursor on a line by itself, you can use the </> button above the editor to add the triple back ticks.

body {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 25px;
}
main {
  background-color: #cccccc;
  border-radius: 5px;
}

#title, #tagline {
  text-align: center;
}
#tagline {
  font-size: 1.2rem;
}
figure {
  display: block;
  background-color: #ffffff;
  text-align: center;
  padding: 50px;
 
  
}
#img-caption {
  display: block;
  font-style: italic;
  padding-top: 8px;
  padding-bottom: 4px;
  text-align: center;
  width: 100%;

Above is my css as requested

Perfect. I’m not seeing in your CSS where your image element is set to display: block. I see you set the figure element to display: block, but that is not what the tests are asking for.

Thank you @bbsmoothdev. When I set the image element to display block, the image didn’t align in the center again and I couldn’t find a way around it

Correct. When you set it to block then it is not considered text any more and thus text-align: center on the figure element has no effect on it.

I’d pay particular attention to the “Is it a block level element?” item under the Horizontally heading.

Fantastic! :clap: Done. Thank you for your support and the link. Very helpful.
