In the novel Roll of Thunder Hear My Cry, several characters have persevered through injustice, harhip, and extreme racism. One example of this perseverance was, In the novel Roll of Thunder Hear My Cry, An act of courage would be when Mr. Jameson was signing over the land, and backing the credit for vicksburg. This was an act of courage because, Mr. Jameson was white, and for the time period he was in it was hard for whites to be friends or to be supportive of blacks, because of the racism, and “Separate but equal”. Also, Mr. Jameson showed courage when T.J. was going to be lynched by the night men. He stood in front of T.J. so they would not harm him. again, he showed courage when Mr. Jameson was going to be in trial with T.J. to try to

One important event was when papa, stacey, and Mr. morrison were going to vicksburg to shop, but on the way back in the storm, the wallaces came, they shot papa in the temple and then got his leg broken when he fell and the wagon rolled over it.
