Text: Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry
"In Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry, the Newberry award-winning book by Mildred D. Taylor, students get a first-hand look at life during the Great Depression. Issues of race, segregation, and poverty are survived by the narrator’s developing sense of family and love of the land. Likewise, art from the era or about the era explores many of the same issues and themes. Here, visual art makes powerful connections to literature and the larger social implications that allow contemporary students to meaningfully explore another time in American history."
