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.

Du Bois experienced Jim Crow for the first time when he arrived at Fisk University, an hbcu, in Nashville, Tennessee in 1885.Between semesters, he taught at a primitive Appalachian school where he was shocked by the dire poverty African Americans suffered. He became obsessed with the race problem in America. He continued graduate studies at Harvard, joined a study-abroad program at the University of Berlin, finally returning to Boston in 1895 to receive a PhD from Harvard, the first African American to do so. When white universities shunned his applications despite his stellar credentials, Du Bois accepted a professorship at Atlanta University teaching sociology and directing Publications, the school journal of Negro life.
