Marc Anthony Butcher was a longtime Community Producer at BRIC. His bright smile, courageous heart, and generous spirit touched all he met.

Mr. Butcher aired several shows on Brooklyn Free Speech TV where you could see him roller skating (he was very good!), showing off the B Free Awards trophy he won in 2019 for Most Valuable Producer, and showcasing the poetry he wrote about love and relationships. He was an incredible marketer as he wore his own brand Poems for Peace to promote his art, his poems, and his show. We are going to miss you so much, Mr. Marc Anthony Butcher. Rest well.
