Pearl S. Buck Memorial Hall
Korean name펄벅기념관
Machine-translated from Korean. Show original
Pearl S. Buck was a literary giant who won the Nobel Prize in Literature for her novel 'The Good Earth' and a human rights activist who practiced love without discrimination. To help mixed-race children born in Korea due to U.S. soldiers during the Korean War, she established the Korean branch of the Pearl Buck Foundation in 1965 and the Sosa Opportunity Center in 1967, caring for about 2,000 war orphans and mixed-race children. In 2006, the city of Bucheon opened the Bucheon Pearl Buck Memorial Hall at the site of the former Sosa Opportunity Center to honor her noble spirit of respect for humanity shown in Korea. The memorial hall continues Pearl Buck's spirit through international exchange, Pearl Buck research, and various commemorative projects.
