Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry Study Guide

The Great Depression was a suprememly troublesome time for most Americans, and the difficulty was magnified if you happened to be black and lived in the South. Although many of the black families around Strawberry, Mississippi are sharecroppers, the Logan family owns the land they work. Their independence allows them to help other families in need, but also draws unwanted attention from their less than neighborly white neighbors. In 1933 Mississippi, racist "night men" terrorize the Logans and their neighbors with acts of violence against black families. Young Cassie Logan must learn how to process and respond to the prejudice and the many injustices she experiences as she comes to recognize the importance of the land to her family.
