Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry is the classic story of a girl growing
up in the deep South. Set in Mississippi at the height of the
American Depression, this is the story of a family's struggle to
maintain their integrity, pride and independence against the forces
of a cruelly racist society. 'We have no choice of what colour
we're born or who our parents are or whether we're rich or poor.
What we do have is some choice over what we make of our lives once
we're here.' The Mississippi of the 1930s was a hard place for a
black child to grow up in, but still Cassie didn't understand why
farming his own land meant so much to her father. During that year,
though, when the night riders were carrying hatred and destruction
among her people, she learned about the great differences that
divided them, and when it was worth fighting for a principle even
if it brought terrible hardships. Winner of the highly prestigious
John Newbery Medal in the USA in 1977.
