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.

Dunbar High School flourished in Texarkana, Texas for 7th to 12th grades, offering a community-based education to generations of Black families from 1916-1968. In 1968, the high school was closed to integrate the Texas High School (THS). The Dunbar Buffalos, who were not yet alumni, joined the Texas Tigers to complete their high school careers. This is an interview film project of Dunbar alumni 50 years after the closing of the school during the occasion of their all-classes reunion. The project archives 22 individual interviews electronically, and develops themed short films, which bind individual accounts together to tell a cohesive story of the lived experiences of the alumni. These films share the multifaceted personal development participants attribute to their experience and development of Buffalo Pride.
