We will be reading the novel Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry by Mildred Taylor. I wanted you to be aware of possible sensitive topics that this novel addresses. Due to the historical context of this novel (set in the South in the early 1930's), there are racial topics addressed that depict the attitude of the time period.
