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.

When four million American slaves were freed in 1865, they had the same navigational tools but no single interpreter. The freed slaves agreed on the goals --- life, liberty and property --- as endowed in America’s founding documents. Without a guide, however, the path to political, social, and economic equality often wandered.
