Remembering Pearl on December 7.


Most people tend to forget there are lots of significant Pearls to be remembered on December 7. The following information corresponds to the images above, from left to right. First, there’s the ever-popular Pearl Harbor with many sunken ships to its credit and also several great movies, such as From Here to Eternity starring Montgomery Clift. Other famous Pearls on my list include: actress and singer Pearl Bailey; missionary and Pulitzer prize-winning author Pearl S. Buck, also known as Sai Zhen Zhu, who spent the majority of her life in China and whose literary credits include “The Good Earth,” “Dragon Seed” and “Satan Never Sleeps”; and Pearl Fryar, a topiary artist who changed the landscape of Bishopville, South Carolina, by proving that blacks can keep their yards nice. Thank you for reading this.
