We have already seen..
Running up large debts, Kentucky farmer Arthur Shelby faces the prospect of losing everything.
He raises money by selling two of his slaves, Uncle Tom (a middle-aged man with wife and children), and Harry (young son of maid Eliza), to Mr. Haley, a coarse slave trader.
When Shelby tells his wife about his agreement with Haley, she is appalled because she has promised Eliza that Shelby would not sell her son.

Next: As if things couldn't get worse for Uncle Tom...Enter Simon Legree!

It's retro!
It's funky!
It's Lichtenstein-style Pop Art with a Black flair, featuring a proud Black woman!
