Selling 'Huck Finn' down the river

Article Abstract:

'Huckleberry Finn' is considered racist by many because of the manner in which the African American character Jim is portrayed. Twain wrote the book after the Civil War, and much of the criticism stems from its lack of addressing the issue of slavery. The book presents a high moral tone.
