About the Black ABC's: The Black ABC’s was created by two Black women educators, June Sark Heinrich, and consultant Bernadette H. Triplett in Chicago, Illinois. Heinrich received her MA in English at the University of Chicago and was an author and editor of programs for early childhood education. Heinrich and Triplett teamed up to produce the Black ABCs in 1970 for the Society of Visual Education. The organization was started in Chicago in 1919 and by the early 1970s became a leading supplier of classroom learning materials. The original sets of twenty six poster-sized study prints feature a color photograph corresponding to the letter of the alphabet and educational keywords, biographies, and suggested activities on the reverse side - learning aides that centered the achievements, histories and popular sociopolitical affirmations of Black Americans during the Black Power era.
