Roll of Thunder, Hear my Cry by Mildred Taylor
Winner of the Newberry Medal, this is the sixth book in a series that tells the story of the Logan family in rural Mississippi during the Great Depression. Told through Cassie's eyes, the reader sees the disparity between people of color and their white counterparts. The reader is also exposed to the harsh realities of being a person of color in the South--night riders, lynchings, tarring and feathering. Despite the harshness, the reader follows the Logan family as they become an even more close knit than they were previously.
