"Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry" by Mildred D. Taylor tells the story of the Logans, an African American family living in the South during the 1930s. Through the eyes of young Cassie Logan, the narrative explores the harsh realities of racism and the importance of family, identity, and resilience. As Cassie and her brothers navigate the dangers and injustices of their segregated world, their parents work to maintain their land and dignity in a society that seeks to oppress them. The novel highlights themes of courage, community, and the fight for equality against the backdrop of a deeply divided America. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
