Something Something about Otto Stallworth

Something Something about Otto Stallworth

Dr. Otto Stallworth Jr. was born and reared in Birmingham, Alabama, during the 1940s, 50s, and early 60s, a city characterized during those years by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., as “the most segregated city in America.” Crossed the Alabama state line the first time at age 16 in 1962 to attend Howard University in Washington, D.C., and became the first college graduate in his family. The details of Dr. Stallworth’s life are evocative of friendships, falling in love, and marriages; and a great variety of occupations ranging from discovering and managing a famous music group to driving a city bus on his first trip to Chicago to becoming a doctor. His writing style itself is clear and effective, quirky and compelling, especially the descriptions of friendships from early childhood on, and falling in love, and the humorous stories. There are sad times described, and traumas and problems, but Dr. Stallworth gives these a full range of emotions and I think the reader really feels what the author, Dr. Stallworth, felt, or close to it. His style of writing and his stories are informative, quirky, and compelling. Probably more important, the reader can learn from it. “I wrote stories, never shared, as I remembered events in my life, and as if I were telling them to a friend.” Dr. Stallworth, 2023. buy the book here
