The Logans who Cried Conflict
No matter how hard the Logans tried, they were always under the thumb of conflict. In Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry, the Logans face dozens of conflicts, some with positive outcomes, and some with negative outcomes. The Logan’s were among the few black families that owned their own land. They were a proud and close family, but they were eventually sucked into a tornado of never ending conflicts, some more deep or intense than others, including people of the same race, different race, or friendships that long to be together, but are crushed by racism.

On Christmas Eve, Jeremy came down to the Logans to give two presents: one was a bag of beans for Mama, and the other was the flute for Stacey. When Jeremy left, that’s when he went into his room and put it away, never to have eye’s land on it
