Traditional Historic House Tour

Pearl S. Buck was a Pulitzer and Nobel Award-winning author, a humanitarian, and an activist. This traditional biographic tour of her home, the Pearl S. Buck House, a National Historic Landmark museum, allows visitors to learn about the life and legacy of this remarkable woman.
A rich, mostly intact collection makes guests feel as if they are visiting the house in the time Ms. Buck and her family lived there. Objects from the ordinary (a closet full of board games played by the family) to the extraordinary (the typewriter Ms. Buck used to write The Good Earth) add to the fascinating experience. Other interesting items include rare artwork from around the world, period furnishings, personal clothing, and a library stocked with hundreds of books (including those by her favorite author, Charles Dickens).
If you love history, architecture, literature, folk art, fine art, or just stepping back in time, this tour is for you.

Pearl S. Buck and Her Civil Rights Legacy

As part of Martin Luther King Jr. Week 2022, historian R. Scott Bomboy will give a special talk about author and humanitarian Pearl S. Buck’s early efforts to promote civil rights movement, in a virtual event in conjunction with Pearl S. Buck International.
Buck took a public stand against racism shortly before her return to the United States in the mid-1930s and then became a key civil rights supporter in a crucial time in the battle for racial equality. The curated talk will focus on Pearl S. Buck’s relationship with the press between 1934 and 1951 and her advocation for equal rights.
The talk also features a discussion about Buck’s role with National Urban League; her feud with the New York Times in 1941 over an editorial; her landmark Howard University speech in 1942; and Buck’s protests against segregated schools in Washington, D.C. The discussion also will cover parts of the FBI’s dossier on Buck related to her civil rights efforts.
Join us for a stimulating program featuring this newly uncovered civil rights research followed by a Q & A with the speaker and group topic discussions. This event is free and open to the public. It will be presented virtually online through Zoom. Registration required to receive Zoom link.
