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.

A descendant of early settlers in Mecklenburg County, Brown was one of the first “Lady Agents” to join Eastern Air Lines during World War II. A devoted companion of Golden’s from the late 1950s until his death, Brown made a generous gift that enabled the establishment of The Harry Golden Visiting Scholar Fund to support access to Golden’s papers in the Atkins Library Special Collections. The fund has recently been renewed and revised to subsidize travel for scholars to conduct research with any of Atkins Library’s special collections on topics inspired by Golden’s life and work: civil rights (defined broadly as the rights of citizens to political and social freedom and equality), labor, journalism, or the Jewish community.
