Roll of Thunder Hear My Cry Is a good book and a good read. It takes place after the reconstruction period, in Mississippi. The book is about a family of African Americans trying to survive in the highly racist and segregated South, while doing what ever they can to hold on to their land. I recommend this book for no grade lower than 5th because it does touch on some very sensitive topics of racism and does use the “N” word quite a few times. So I do caution parents, but I also feel it is something everyone should read at some point in their life. It teaches how hard life was for African American during this time period.
