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.

Washington School, a newly constructed colored high school in Marlin, Texas, teaching Industrial Arts. James quickly realized it was not his calling. He had found a new passion while boarding with Dr. and Mrs. A. L. Hunter. Dr. Hunter’s successful clinic was typical of African-American medical practices in the early twentieth century in which the physician dedicated a portion of his personal residence as an office. Since most African-Americans associated hospitals with death, they would sooner seek medical advice in the comfort of a home than in a medical office. Dr. Hunter was an alumnus of the Meharry Medical Department of Central Tennessee College in Nashville, Tennessee. Central Tennessee was another example of an HBCU established with the assistance of the Methodist church to help educate freed slaves and their descendants. In 1915, Meharry was chartered as a separate medical school creating the first medical school for African Americans in the South. By the end of the school year, James Dickey had decided to be a doctor.
