Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry by Mildred Taylor

The Logan family saga continues in this novel about the trials that as an African American family they face during the 1930s , a time of racial discrimination and economic depression.

As the main character, Cassie, again witnesses the racism that the white men inflict on her own family and their African American community of men and women. This time , though, the men are more threatening than Mr. Andersen is in "Song of the Trees". Now the reader gets a glimpse of the Ku Klux Klan, a racial suppremacist group that even includes the town sheriff and the wealthy landowner, Mr. Harland Granger.

Does the reader perceive any positive elements in Cassie's world despite the prejudice set against her and her family?
