The black man, also called the "blackfella," is a mysterious man who keeps appearing to various members of the both families, each time counseling the person he sees to go home or to keep Cloudstreet intact. He symbolizes a voice from within each person, or perhaps is a spiritual guide of some sort. His message is always the same.
