Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

He is uncertain about the future and what it holds for him. His artistic ancestors are always with him, as they are part of the Black Iaville Artists Collective – The Shadow.plain2023-12-10T01:10:54-08:00kYmberly Keeton9362993029ca88c8d3b40345148bb9d36b16c130

Shadow wintertime stolen Philadelphia at the old archives
It is the year 2045.
Vignette I
Philadelphia's heart, African roots run deep here, Community thrives.
History's embrace, From freedom's birth to struggle, Strength in each chapter.
Future's hopeful gleam, From the seeds of yesterday, Blooms love's sweet promise.
