Logan Family

Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry is a novel by Mildred D. Taylor that tells the story of the Logan family, African Americans living in Mississippi during the 1930s. The narrative focuses on the experiences of the Logan children, particularly Cassie, as they grow up in a racially segregated and violently oppressive society. The family owns a piece of land, which is a source of pride and independence, but also of tension with the white community. Throughout the book, the Logans face racism, social injustice, and financial hardship. They endure humiliation and threats from the white community, particularly the Wallaces, who run a local store and are known for their racist attitudes. The Logan family fights to maintain their dignity, educate their children, and protect their land. The story explores themes of family, courage, and the importance of standing up against injustice, all while Cassie learns about the harsh realities of racism and the strength of her own community.
