"A is for Amphetamines. B is for Blue. C is for Code Switching." In 1970, two Chicago teachers created a new flash-card system designed to better reflect the lived experiences of Black students. Topaz Jones uses the twenty-six-letter ABC format as a jumping-off point to create a dizzying, dazzling, and highly personal odyssey through the Black American cultural consciousness.
