Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry is by Mildred D. Taylor. This is another in Taylor's series of books depicting the struggles of African Americans in history. The multi-cultural historical fiction story is set in the deep south of the 1930's. Cassie Logan has been sheltered by her family and can't understand why a white person would consider her inferior. This story follows one year in her life where he family is terrorized by "night riders" and she, and her brothers, learn why the land they own means so much. A touching story of overcoming adversity with the love of family and community.
