Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry was first published in 1976, and won the Newbery Medal in 1977. It is set in 1936 , in Mississippi--during the Great Depression. Poverty is a fact of life for many of the book's characters. Although the Logans own their own land, many in the black community are sharecroppers. The 'Berry Burnings' mentioned in chapter 1 and Mr. Tatum who was tarred and feathered in chapter 4 are examples of lynch mobs and nightmen taking the law into their own hands, at the expense of the black population.
