Written by Mildred D. Taylor, Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry is one of a series of novels set in the U.S South during the Depression. Based on stories from the author's own family history, the series explores issues of prejudice, family bonds, and the value of education. The Logan family is one of the few black families in the area that owns their own land; they bought it during Reconstruction and have used it for farming for many years. Now it's the Depression, and they're struggling to pay the property taxes on their land. A wealthy local landowner would love to acquire the Logans' land (his family owned it before the Civil War). Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry chronicles the Logans struggle to hold onto their land, their dignity, and their freedom.
