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.

Parents John and Linnie (Sears) Dickey delivered their eldest child at their McLennan County home, as was typical of African American families at the time. Eventually, the Dickey family relocated to their permanent residence near Baylor University at 408 University Street in Waco, Texas. Eight more children soon joined the household. John and Linnie both worked diligently to provide, John working as a waiter and Linnie caring for the family. The A.M.E. Church provided spiritual nourishment and a strong sense of community. As young Dickey grew, this was his quest.
