I think that holding onto the land despite the bank calling the loan in is important here. The importance of land to the Logans is very important here. The land, of course, is a symbol of the family and its strength. Possession of the land means that the Logans are not beholden to the whims of white landowners, the way sharecroppers like the Averys are. Papa's assurance to Big Ma that they'll keep the land is a recurring refrain throughout the book.
