Noah had three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Ham was the second son.

Ham is also infamous as the originator of the 'Curse of Ham': having seen his father drunk and naked,* he told his sons about the deed; whereas his brothers covered their faces, and their father's sin with raiment (clothing). As a result, the descendants of Ham (the Canaanites, or black Africans) were reputed to have been mistreated and enslaved by the early Jews.

*Which possibly was a Biblical euphemism for the act of committing adultery.
