We continue to look through our many episodes of the Book Club for Kids podcast to examine the titles that have been banned or challenged. Today, we look at the 1977 Newbery Medal awarded novel by Mildred D. Taylor Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry. The book has been challenged in school districts from Burbank, California to Oviedo, Florida to Huntsville, Alabama mostly for the use of the "N" word. In Burbank, the book was removed from required reading lists, though kids can choose to read the book and it can be used in small groups after the teacher has undergone training on facilitating conversations on racism, implicit bias, and racial identity.  Mildred D. Taylor said "As a parent I understand not wanting a child to hear painful words, but as a parent I do not understand not wanting a child to learn about a history that is part of America, a history about a family representing millions of families that are strong and loving who remain united and strong, despite the obstacles they face."

The book is the Newbery award winner Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry by Mildred D. Taylor. Readers from Immaculate Heart Catholic School discuss the difference between present-day Bronx and the south of the 1930's. Actress Tracy Leigh is celebrity reader. Literary historian Dr. Dianne Johnson-Feelings of the University of South Carolina offers her perspective on the author.

In today's discussion we are joined by Dr. Laura Hakala of UNCP's Department of English, Theatre and World Languages, who discusses her research and teaching of 19th and early 20th century children's literature, especially those books which focus on southern girlhood. Dr. Hakala reads from three selections she is currently using in her Southern Literature class, the first, published in 1905, is Floyd's Flowers, by African American author Silas Floyd (1869-1923). Dr. Hakala chose an excerpt from the short story "Mary and Her Dolls," which introduces readers to a smart young female character and her father. The book Roll of Thunder Hear My Cry, was published in 1977 by African American author Mildred D. Taylor, and was the 1977 winner of the Newberry Medal, also illustrating a moment between a young daughter and her father. Dr. Hakala also shares the inspiring story Crossing Bok Chitto: A Choctaw Tale of Friendship & Freedom, published in 2006 by Tim Tingle, with beautiful illustrations by Native artist Jeanne Rorex Bridges, which showcases the importance of collaboration. Dr. Hakala has been at UNCP for six years, teaching courses in composition, American literature, women's literature, and children's literature. Her research focuses on nineteenth and early-twentieth-century American children's literature, especially texts about girlhood, race, and the U.S. South. Her articles have appeared in The Southern Quarterly, Children's Literature, Children's Literature Association Quarterly, and The Lion and the Unicorn. Her recent book chapter on Southern children's literature appeared in The Routledge Companion to the Literature of the US South. Dr. Hakala lives in Fayetteville, NC with her family, where she enjoys reading books to her daughter, taking ballet classes, and walking her dog Bilbo.   Book Recommendations and Links: Historical Children's Books: Step by Step, or Tidy's Way to Freedom(1862) Floyd's Flowers (1905) Roll of Thunder Hear My Cry (1976) Crossing Bok Chitto: A Choctaw Tale of Friendship & Freedom (2006)   Lumbee Children's Books: Whoz Ya People It's Lumbee Homecoming Y'all!   Further Discovery: University of Mississippi De Grummond Children's Literature Collection Learn More about Banned Book Week American Indians in Children's Literature Website Visit Dr. Hakala's Google Scholar Page (Lists of her publications)   Find the episode transcript here Follow UNCP's College of Arts and Sciences on Facebook, Twitter@uncpcas and Instagram@uncpcas

Chelsey and Sara discuss Mildred D. Taylor's Newberry Award winning novel, Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry. We gush about the writing, share our favorite characters, and unpack a few memorable scenes. We also spend some time considering why this book feels like it could be classified as an adult novel and the value it would add to a middle or high school curriculum. And, of course, we each offer a couple of books to pair with this middle grade classic. This conversation is largely spoiler-free, and we encourage you to listen whether or not you've read this book recently or at all! Together, we're learning to be better, more critical and thorough readers of classic and contemporary literature.

Today, we'll shift our focus from comforting sick and convalescing friends to showing up for those who are hurting emotionally. From Mrs. Jennings of Sense and Sensibility trying to revive a jilted Marianne with dried cherries to Cassie Logan of Roll of Thunder Hear My Cry caring for her traumatized neighbor, the heroines teach us that food made with love can be ultra healing. Shownotes:Cherries wearing nightgowns. Southern Crowder Peas. Healing Caramel Cake. This quirky trio of edibles all have one thing in common: our favorite literary ladies employed them in their attempts to comfort like a heroine.As we explored the solace-bringing practices described in some beloved books, we gleaned gleaming takeaways about how to lift someone's spirits, soothe a heartbroken and humiliated soul, and even how to help a grieving friend through food and drink (rosehip tea, anyone?). Links: Pride and Partridges: Jane Austen and food: https://www.theguardian.com/books/2013/nov/21/jane-austen-food-emma-bennet-diningMaya Angelou's Healing Caramel Cake:https://www.marthastewart.com/257425/caramel-cakeIf you found some comforting ideas in today's show, please consider taking our relationship to the next level: Subscribe to Eat Like a Heroine and never miss a bookish morsel!-----Theme Music: "Beyond the Ponds" by Francis Wells

I first read Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry when I was about 11 or 12 years old. It's the book that introduced me to racism, and it deals with this tricky topic so…. humanely.  It's clear and sharp and true - but also compassionate. Get Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry  by Mildred D.

Mildred Taylor originally did not set out to write a children's book when she wrote "Roll of Thunder Hear My Cry," yet it quickly became a children's classic and classroom staple for young readers. We'll reexamine this iconic work that unflinchingly examines racism as the children and their parents find ways to push back against the injustices of the Jim Crow South. Our hosts discuss what actually makes a book a children's book, try to guess how much things actually cost in the 1930s (*insert obligatory "how much could a banana cost, $10?"*) and profess their love for the book's most iconic, very 90s, former cover. Plus, we'll hear from Marsha Quarles, a library associate at our South Bowie Branch, about the lasting impact of this book.

For recommended readalikes and deep dives into topics related to each episode, visit our blog at https://pgcmls.medium.com/. As a beloved historical fiction novel that tackles a difficult and important aspect of American history and that is often taught in schools, there's a lot of background research to dive into with this book! Here are a few of the key resources we used. Two articles about recent challenges to the inclusion of this book in school curriculum: https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/books/story/2020-11-12/burbank-unified-challenges-books-including-to-kill-a-mockingbird https://www.newsweek.com/kill-mockingbird-other-books-banned-california-schools-over-racism-concerns-1547241 And here's the title's listing in the ALA report of the top 10 banned books from the 2000s: https://bit.ly/2SSgkbi. It was most often cited for use of language. Notably, Roll of Thunder is actually book 4 in a multi-part series about the Logan family.

Today we will be talking about the book Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry by Mildred Taylor. We will talk about some of the top moments in the book. We will also reveal what character we think won overall throughout the book.

The kids are back in school and we revisit a childhood favorite: Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry, by Mildred Taylor. And, whew, boy! Ms. Taylor aimed to teach the kids the truth about racism and she went above in beyond to do so. This book had lynch mobs, roving Klansmen and three men being burned alive. The big question is, how were either of us able to read this as kids and not be traumatized? Also, why did Stacey remain friends with the shifty-ass T.J.? And why was Papa Logan so quick to threaten to blow shit up? Be sure to listen in on our next episode when we discuss the issue surrounding diverse kid lit.
