description: 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.
