The Logan family, specifically the children Cassie, Stacey, Little Man, and Christopher-John, picked the cotton in 1933 in the book "Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry." They worked hard in the fields to help support their family despite facing discrimination and challenges.
Cassie saw Mr. Morrison coming up the road from the top of her cotton pole in "Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry." Mr. Morrison was a big and strong man who worked for the Logan family and was devoted to protecting them.
The mule in "Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry" was named Mr. Granger's Peter.
The title "Roll of Thunder Hear My Cry" comes from a verse in the poem "The Negro Speaks of Rivers" by Langston Hughes. It was chosen to convey the themes of power, strength, and resilience present in the novel.
The Logan children start school in late October in the book "Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry." They are unable to start at the beginning of the school year because they have to help their parents with the cotton harvest.
