Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry is a 1976 children's novel written by Mildred Taylor that won the 1977 Newbery Medal. The story is set in Mississippi during the 1930s, when white oppression and strong racism were still very much a part of everyday life and made into a TV miniseries (3 parts) in 1978.

The book is a first person narrative, the events within being viewed through the eyes of Cassie, the main character. As the book progresses, Cassie learns to adapt in order to survive.

The sequel, Let the Circle Be Unbroken, was released in 1981.

Plot summary
It starts off with Cassie Logan and her brothers, Stacey, Christopher-John, and Little Man---whose real name is actually Clayton Chester---walking to school. Cassie talks about the land the family lives on. It once belonged to the Granger Plantation, but they sold a thousand acres of it to cover their taxes during Reconstruction.

Their Grandpa buys two hundred acres of it in 1887, then another two hundred acres in 1918. After several minutes of walking, T.J. Avery and his brother, Claude, joins them. The Avery family sharecrops on the Granger Plantation. Later on, the white children's sleek school bus comes. Everyone gets out of its way in time except for Little Man, who gets very dirty from the wake of flying mud, coming from under the tires of the bus.

Then, Jeremy Simms arrives. Jeremy is a white boy with an older sister, Lillian Jean, two older brothers, R.W. and Melvin, and probably two or three younger siblings. Jeremy, Lillian Jean and the other white children go to the fancy Jefferson Davis School while the black children go to the nearly rundown Great Faith Elementary and Secondary School.

During the day, Cassie and Little Man both get whipped for refusing to take their books, worn-out castoffs from the neighbouring white school. Miss Crocker goes to see their gentle and very loving mother, Mary Logan, who is also a teacher there and is also Stacey and T.J.'s teacher. On Saturday, their father, David Logan, comes home from the railroad in Louisiana and brings home Mr. L.T. Morrison. He leaves the next day to catch a train after church.

The next week, it rains constantly. After Cassie, Little Man, Christopher-John, and Stacey get splashed with mud once again by the school bus one last time, they dig a man-made lake during lunch, and after school, the bus crashes into it. During the night, night men---similar to the Ku Klux Klan---come to the Logan family's home, but it is the wrong home so they leave, and tar and feather Mr. Sam Tatum.

The next day, T.J. shows Stacey a copy of cheating notes the next day of school. During the test, he gives them to Stacey when he sees Mrs. Logan coming. Mrs. Logan finds them, accuses Stacey, and whips him. T.J. runs to the Wallace Store---which the Logans forbid their children to ever visit---on the Grangers' land, and Stacey and the others follow him. Mr. Morrison finds them and takes them away just as Stacey fights T.J. He even reminds them that they were not supposed to be there for any reason.

Stacey tells his mother, though they did not get whipped immediately. The next day, Mrs. Logan recruits people to boycott the Wallace Store because they are the ones who cause most of the trouble between the blacks and the whites.

On the second Saturday of December, Big Ma, Cassie's grandmother, takes Stacey, Cassie, and T.J. to Strawberry, a nearby town, and does some selling. After lunch, they go into Mr. Jamison's office. Mr. Jamison is their white lawyer and he was the one that sold their grandpa the last 200 acres. Mr. Jamison is one of the few white men in the town that treats black people with kindness and fairness. Only Big Ma goes inside his office. T.J. took Cassie and Stacey to the Barnett Mercantile to buy things that T.J. needs.

Mr. Barnett serves T.J. at the mercantile. A white adult customer comes in and Mr. Barnett interrupts T.J.'s service to serve the white person. Then, a little white girl comes in and Mr. Barnett interrupts T.J.'s service again to serve the little girl. Cassie politely reminds Mr. Barnett that they have been waiting patiently for about an hour. He responds by telling her to just wait some more. Cassie gets angry and yells at Mr. Barnett. Stacey tells her to be quiet before she stars a squabble. Mr. Barnett kicks them out of the store and Cassie is still shouting when she has leaving.

After being kicked out, Cassie accidentally bumps into Lillian Jean Simms. She orders her to apologize, then to get down onto the ground. Cassie tries to run, but is pushed onto the road by Mr. Simms, Lillian Jean's father, and he orders her to apologize to her again, calling her "Miz" before she leaves with Big Ma, tears streaming down her cheeks.

When they get home, they find that their Uncle Hammer Logan from Chicago, Illinois, is visiting them, coming here by a nice Packard that looks like Mr. Granger's car. Cassie tells him what happened to her today and Hammer speeds away with Mr. Morrison, but by tomorrow, Cassie finds Hammer still alive and well. Before Heading to church, Hammer gives Stacey a present early, a new wool coat. But when they arrive by car, T.J. cruelly teases him.

Papa comes home just in time for Christmas, and is staying until spring. On Christmas night, after having some guests at their home, Jeremy comes over and gives the Logans' some nuts and a hand-made flute to Stacey. Papa warns Stacey about Jeremy and about being friends with him, saying that eventually he will change, due to how racist the Simms family is. The day after, Papa calls the children into the barn and whips them for visiting the Wallace Store.

Time passes and Papa starts to lead the boycott. Mr. Jamison visits and Big Ma sign papers giving the land to Papa and Hammer. He even warns them that they could lose their land if they continue their boycott of the Wallaces' store (not that he wants them to lose it). Granger comes over, and asks for the land again, but Papa refuses. Hammer returns to Chicago and Papa still leads the boycott.

Then Cassie makes peace with Lillian Jean and becomes a friend and a servant by carrying Lillian Jean's books. But it was all for a sneaky set up: Cassie attacks Lillian Jean and makes her apologize for what happened way back in Strawberry. She threatens to expose Lillian Jean's secrets (which she told to Cassie) if she told anyone what Cassie did to her.

Then, T.J. tells Mr. Wallace about Mrs. Logan and what she doing to the books, teaching the class, and even the boycott. Mr. Granger then fires mama and Stacey blames T.J. though he lies to them. After all of his friends shun him, he takes up with Melvin and R.W. Simms.

School ends in March, and Papa, Mr. Morrison, and Stacey go up to Vicksburg again. But while coming back, they are brutally ambushed and attacked by Mr. Wallace and his two brothers. Papa having his head shot by a shotgun shell, and then the wagon they rode on runs his leg over. Papa survives the bullet, though he bleeds badly, and his leg is broken. Mr. Morrison takes him home after breaking an arm and then the backs of two of the Wallace brothers.

While delivering tools to some of their friends the next day, Mr. Wallace stops them, but Mr. Morrison strongly moves his truck away and continues on. While church goes on during the week, the nearby bank calls up the mortgage on the last two hundred acres of the Logan's land, but Hammer gives them money, having to sell his Packard. On the last day of revival, T.J. goes with R. W. and Melvin to the nearby mercantile, which was closed went they arrived. T.J. sneaks in and opens the door to the stock cover and black hooded white friend R. W. gives T.J. a pearl-handed pistol, and then he and Melvin rob the cash box. The store owner finds them and one of them fights for the money. One of the Simms hits him with a flat end of an axe, causing him to die, and the other-the owner's wife-is knocked out. T.J. flees, but R. W. and Melvin beat him up, and drives to the pool hall. T.J. manages to get home, but went to the Logan’s and asks for the children's help.

When they get home, the night men come over and drag the Avery’s out of their house. The Logans hide in time. Jamison and the sheriff stop them, but Wallace threatens to take T.J. down to the Logans' and lynch him, Mr. Logan, and Mr. Morrison. Cassie, Little Man, and Christopher-John rushes home, and tell Papa and Mr. Morrison what happened. Papa and Mr. Morrison grab their shotguns and rush off to stop the lynching. After awhile, a fire sparks the Logans' cotton, and after being put out by all the people of the county, even the night men, who stop the lynching to keep the fire from heading towards the forest.

Then the children learn that papa burned the cotton to stop the lynching, and that is how they lose a quarter of their cotton. After that, Mr. Jamison informs them to keep it quiet, and also tells them that T.J. is safe in Strawberry in the sheriff's custody.
