Inspiration: by Big T

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. Pastor Hughes is a human rights

and social justice advocate.
