Brother Blue

Brother Blue is the official storyteller of Boston, an ordained minister turned street poet and raconteur who spins tales of struggle and hope on street corners and in prisons, inner-city schools, parks, subways, and churches. The great-grandson of a slave owner and his slave, Brother Blue rises through the white-dominated spheres of the military, the ministry, and academia. He sheds institutional life to become a roaming town crier fueled by a faith in the transformative power of sacred service.

This portrait gives voice to the heartfelt life stories of a renowned and original storyteller.
