In the book "Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry" by Mildred D. Taylor, the chain gang is a group of black men who are forced to work on a road construction crew while shackled together in chains. This punishment was a form of forced labor commonly used in the Southern United States during the era of Jim Crow laws. The chain gang symbolizes the oppressive and dehumanizing treatment of African Americans in the segregated South.
