Roll Of Thunder Hear Me Cry Analysis

In Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry there are many injustices committed against the black persons. Although the african american community are very brave the first one to talk about is the schools. The all african american school (Great Faith Elementary School) and the secondary school were treated poorly. The african american children get worn-out books that the Jefferson Davis School discarded, the blacks also have to walk to school while the white racist children get a bus to their school. The blacks get a couple of weeks in school while the whites get months. Another injustice is the Berry family, John Berry and his two nephews are deliberately set afire by a group of white “night riders” Mr. Berry died that day from the injury.
