I followed the Marvin Booker Murder and trial
for four straight years. Our Church, New
Covenant Christian Church, supported the
family when they were in town, ensuring they had
food and other essentials to make their stay
comfortable as they traveled a long road for Justice
for Marvin. I watched a family continue to
support their elderly parents, who were determined
to see justice for their son. However, central
to it all was a man who was a street preacher like
me, who stood up for himself, and they killed
him because he only wanted his shoes! His
dignity in the face of oppression inspired me
to write this play. As his mentor, the Reverend Dr.
Martin Luther King Jr., was Marvin’s Muse for
all those years, the letter from A Birmingham Jail
became my muse through the voice and vision of
Marvin Louis Booker Street Preacher!
Terrence H. Hughes better known as Pastor Big
T is the Founding Pastor of
Alpha and Omega Ministries and current
Co-Pastor of the New Covenant
Christian Church Alpha and Omega Ministries.
