Long before moving away from The Bottom, the poor black area of Beaumont, Arkansas, David and Mary Green yearn to flee the rural south and discover an improved life. The family steals away in the night time, seeking a fresh beginning in St. Louis, Missouri. Even though St. Louis is more than they hoped for, their kid, Otto, succumbs to the pull of the streets; he's lured into the dangerous world of bootlegging alcoholic beverages at the level of Prohibition. This imaginary story of a sizable DARK-COLORED family from Arkansas and their move to a fresh life in St. Louis documents the history of dark migration to the north in the 1920s and '30s. Make vividly captures the build of the times in this report filled with information on the family's life - from births, relationships, separations, and fatalities, to their engaging experiences with racism and Jim Crow laws and regulations, criminal activity, and, eventually, redemption. Written in memoir form, Uncle Otto is a nostalgic tribute to Winfred Cook's impaired uncle.
