SYNOPSIS

“Unbelievable!” provides the audience with a glimpse into the life of Art Williams. From his humble beginnings working alongside his mother and father in the cotton fields at the tender age of four, to his family’s experiences as part of the Great Migration, to breaking the color lines in the Detroit Tigers organization, working as a public servant, and ultimately becoming Baseball’s First Black National League Umpire.
The story is told through the eyes of Art’s younger brother, Dr. Audie Williams. Their brotherly bond is evident and palpable as Dr. Audie recounts a few of the significant moments that had a tremendous impact on his big brother’s life and career.
