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.

Yet over the next three decades he helped shape America's view of the civil rights movement with his irreverent one-man newspaper, Carolina Israelite, his TV appearances, syndicated column, speeches, and more than 20 books, five of them bestsellers. (*Official documents put Golden's birth year variously between 1902-1903. The FBI and his death certificate agree on 1903.)
