All the Days Past, All the Days to Come

CORETTA SCOTT KING AWARD WINNER • The sweeping saga of the Mississippi Logan family comes to a compelling conclusion—made famous in Newbery Medal-winning Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry—as Cassie, now a young woman, witnesses turn-of-the-century historical events such as the Civil Rights Movement.

“Offers insights into seismic social movements and systematic oppression in the grim realities of racism faced by the family.”—Publishers Weekly

“Gives readers an up-close and personal view of key events of the civil rights movement.”—Kirkus Reviews

Change is coming and Cassie Logan will be part of it. Cassie—first met as a feisty eight-year-old—is a young woman now, searching for her place in the world, a journey that takes her from the Logan family home in Toledo to California and Colorado, then on to law school in Boston, and ultimately, home to Mississippi to be part of the voter registration drive of the 1960s.

She is witness to the now-historic events of the century: the Great Migration north, the relentless racism of postwar America, the rise of the Civil Rights Movement, and the often violent confrontations that brought about change. Readers who grew up with Cassie Logan, as well as those just discovering the Logans, will be both inspired and satisfied by her story.
