Well, honey, in "Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry," the chain gang is a group of Black men who are forced to work on a road construction crew while shackled together with chains. It's a brutal and dehumanizing form of punishment imposed by the white authorities in the story. So, in a nutshell, the chain gang is a symbol of the systemic racism and oppression faced by Black people in the Jim Crow South.
