In this classic kids novel Cassie and her large family live on a cotton farm in Jim Crow Mississippi. Life is dangerous for black people and the Logan family is threatened by night-riding vigilantes and white land-holders who want to humiliate and degrade them because of the color of their skin. (  ) klnbennett | Oct 7, 2020 |  Nine-year-old Cassie Logan is growing up during the Great Depression in Mississippi. An inquisitive young girl, she doesn't understand why she and her brothers must walk all the way to school, dodging the bus filled with white children as it purposely tries to run them off the road. Why do they go to different schools? As the story progresses, Cassie begins to understand how life works in the South under the Jim Crow laws and how her family struggles to get by. This is a great book--at times difficult to get through, but providing an eye-opening experience of racism through the eyes of a nine-year-old. It won the Newberry Medal in 1977 ( ) ocgreg34 | Sep 8, 2020 | 00008102 lcslibrarian | Aug 13, 2020 | 00003444 lcslibrarian | Aug 13, 2020 | 00007571 lcslibrarian | Aug 13, 2020 |
Roll of thunder hear my cry This book is about a family that lived in Mississippi. They owned a lot of land. There were the Wallace’s who were mean white people. There family was big. Papa sent Mr. Morrison to watch all of his family. There was a guy named T.J who took the wrong side of the road. And was blamed for stealing a gun. Papa went down to the land and set a fire so that T.J would not get hurt anymore. In the end, everything turned out great and it did not have to end in violence. We read this book in my 7th grade LA class. I enjoyed reading it. My favorite part was when Papa set a distraction to make them stop hitting T.J... I loved this book. Everybody should read this. The only part I did not like was when they cursed at the African Americans. I encourage all readers to read this book. Indeholdt iEr forkortet iIndeholder elevguideHas as a teacher's guide
