Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry was a great book! I loved it a lot. It's about a family, the Logans, who are living in the deep south during the Civil Rights movement. They come across many obstacles because they are black. Stacey, the oldest brother, is friends with a white boy, Jeremy Simms, and that is a big problem back then. Then, there's the problem with thye night riders. And, Stacey's friend, T.J., is blamed for hurting a white man and woman, and is taken to jail innocent. He was blamed because he was black and often in trouble. This book is wonderful. It makes the story of the hate and torture that was put upon Blacks, and makes it a very intresting story that you won't want to put down.
