We are getting close to the end of Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry by Mildred Taylor and we are beginning to learn "the way of the world" for black people during the 1930's. Cassie Logan learns a powerful lesson from Lillian Jean Simms and her father when she steps inside the Barnett Mercantile in Strawberry, Mississippi for the first time. Uncle Hammer comes to visit the Logan family for Christmas and we realize how important the love and strength of the Logan family is for their survival. Money and material goods are not necessary for happiness, and the Logan family demonstrate the truth in this day after day.
