Correct. Uncle Tom got a bad rap. That's how crazy things were in the 60s -- and still are. IIRC, all he did was point out the pros and cons of running away to a woman who had little children to think about . . . And suddenly in the mind of black America he's some kind of big whitey-loving sellout. People couldn't be more wrong about that. IMO, he was one of the most noble characters in the book.
