the protagonist is cassie, who is just experiencing racism outside of school for the very first time
the logans are full of pride because they are the only african americans who own their own land
the whites in the community try to have them loose their land
the logans start a boycott of a white store, yet the whites continually try and keep them down
the story occurs in in the south in 1933
The blacks in the community are constantly scared because of the nightriders who ride around burning blacks
racism goes both ways
racism is also present in the school and there is a kindergarden boy experiencing racism at all for the very first time
