Overview

Write a short summary of what happens in the film.

In 1970 a group of Black educators in Chicago developed a flashcard set of the Alphabet in order to provide Black centered teaching materials to a vastly White landscape of textbooks and learning materials. The Black ABCs were born. Now 50 years later, as the artist debuts their 2nd album, “Don't Go Telling Your Momma” is a view into his and America's Black Identity through 26 individual scenes, each representing a letter and the artist’s corresponding update to their meanings.
