Lesson Topic 4: Chapters 4-6

A young, light-skinned girl with light hair in a ponytail stands in profile with a book in her hands. She wears a blue suspender skirt, a white top, and yellow shoes and socks. In the first three chapters, you are introduced to Cassie and her three brothers. It is apparent that the Logan children have self-respect regardless of their race. Hopefully, you have discovered the racism that exists in the small town of Spokane County, Mississippi during this time period. The unpunished violence that you read about in chapters 2-3 trouble the black community, and more incidents involving the Logans will occur as you continue reading.

Go ahead and read chapters 4-6 of Roll of Thunder, Hear my Cry.
