Oh, what a lovely moment in the story! After visiting the Wallace store in "Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry," Mama makes the children wash their hands thoroughly with lye soap to cleanse away the dirt and any lingering memories of the store. It's a gentle reminder of the importance of cleanliness and self-respect, even in the face of difficult situations.

In "Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry," Mama's plan to show displeasure with the Wallaces and their bigotry is to organize and lead a boycott of the Wallace store. By encouraging the black community to stop shopping at the Wallace store, Mama hopes to hit the Wallaces economically and challenge their oppressive behavior. This is a form of passive resistance that empowers the community to stand up against racism.
