.... as dogs. They sold, bought, lynched, and murdered many thousands of African American people. Not even thinking that the blacks had feelings, hopes, and dreams just as they did. We sold them like a car or food at the market. Like when the King sold Jim to the Phelps Plantation for forty dollars. He traveled with Jim for so long, just to sell him like “that”. Even when they sold the slaves and Huck told them that the money was with the slaves, I tried to show there how money is so important to people, then and now. I tried to portray through humor and mockery of the human race. I tried to show that even the soli .....
