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.

Black Exodus was created to bring attention to the unprecedented displacement of Black San Franciscans. We asked Black residents to speak about their connections to their neighborhoods and their experiences in community activism. These interviews form the core of this zine, alongside stories gathered at community storytelling events and art-making workshops. We center individuals as producers of communal knowledge and believe that art can play a role in building communal power, amplifying local histories, and bridging access to knowledge. AEMP’s existing Narratives of Displacement and Resistance project uses an oral history approach to interrogate how displacement affects individual lives, and chronicle communal resilience and resistance. Black Exodus continues this approach by using oral history interviews, archival research, community power mapping and video narrative to facilitate an understanding of local history. Although a thorough treatment of the subjects raised by our interviewees is beyond the scope of this zine, we hope it can serve as a partial repository for storytelling about the past, present, and possible futures of San Francisco as experienced by Black residents and allies.
