Throughout its history in
America the Black family has
h d to ruggle for survival
while the winds of injustice
have slammed against it with
the force of a hurricane.
Many of today's reports on
the Black family, however, sho
only the wreakage· the missing
father the defeated mother
and children being sucked into a
whirlpool of crime.
But there is another side to
the Black family's ory.
ildred Taylor a young
gifted Black novelist writes of
the miracle of the Black family'
survival. In stories about the
Logans a issi ippi family,
Taylor tell of the Black
family's strength, its endurance,
its love an its indomitable
spirit.
The saga begins during the
Depression years when Cassie
Logan the narrator of the story
is eight years old. Cassie has a
brignt mind, a quick tongue,
and a very independent spirit.
She has an older brother, Stacey,
and two younger brothers, Chris­
topher-John and "Little an".
The father, David, must try
to make a living by dividing
his time between farming and
a job on the railro d in another
town.
Mary, the mother is a school
teacher. Her income is badly
needed for the support of the
family, but she is regarded as a
"trouble-maker" becau she
doesnot bow to the system.
She, along with the grand­
mother, must hold the family
and the hou hold together in
the father's absence.
The hot tempered and de­
fiant Uncle Hammer lives in
the north. His visits bac home
are always greatly welcomed,
but threaten to upset the de­
li ate race relations under which
the family mu t live.
Through Ca sie's eyes, we
can see the Blac family strug­
gling for econ mi survival
against overwhelming odd. The
Logans are making a heroi
effort to hold onto their land
