Roots excerpt reveals slave sale and family peril

In a dramatic Roots passage set near Alamance County, Massa Lea sells Tom and kin to a trader amid brutal slave-market rhetoric. Tom pleads for a buyout to keep the family together as Gran mammy Kizzy and others cling to hope and mourn Uncle Pompey’s death before a planned journey north toward freedom.
