biography won the 1998 Julia Cherry Spruill Prize.
Julia Peterkin was a South Carolina plantation mistress
who vowed to “write what is, even if it is unpleasant.”
Praised by leaders of the Harlem Renaissance, who
considered her work ground-breaking, she found a way
to draw white readers into the lives of black farmhands.
Peterkin produced five books that revolutionized American
literature, including Scarlet Sister Mary, which won the
Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1929.
A preview of a documentary film about Peterkin’s life will be shown
