Roll of Thunder Hear My Cry Crossword Puzzle


“Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry” is a novel written by Mildred D. Taylor, first published in 1976. Set in Mississippi during the Great Depression, the story revolves around the Logan family, an African American family struggling to survive and maintain their dignity in a deeply segregated and racially prejudiced society. Here’s a summary of the book:

The novel is narrated by Cassie Logan, a young girl growing up in a rural black community. The Logan family owns a piece of land, which is rare for African Americans in the 1930s. This land symbolizes their independence and self-sufficiency.

Throughout the story, the Logan family faces numerous challenges and acts of racism. Cassie and her three brothers, Stacey, Christopher-John, and Little Man, encounter racism at their school, where they must use old and tattered textbooks handed down from the white school. The white landowners in the area, particularly the Simms family, display prejudice and hostility towards the Logans.

As the story unfolds, the Logans become involved in a boycott against the Wallace store, a white-owned establishment that mistreats and discriminates against black customers. The boycott leads to increased tension and violence within the community.

Cassie learns about the harsh realities of racism and the importance of family, unity, and resistance. Her older brother Stacey becomes more involved in the fight for justice, even though it puts him in danger. The Logans’ determination to protect their land and stand up against racism ultimately leads to a powerful and emotional climax.

“Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry” explores themes of racism, inequality, family bonds, and the resilience of the human spirit. It provides a poignant portrayal of the hardships faced by African Americans during a turbulent period in American history and the strength they found in their community and each other.
