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.

Titled A Photographic Essay on the Black Panthers, the exhibition drew a record number of visitors: 100,000. Most notable about the audience was the unprecedented number of black attendees who flocked to the museum during the months the exhibition was on view. Never before and not since A Photographic Essay on the Black Panthers has the de Young seen such high numbers of black visitors come through its doors. The show’s popularity among people of color is a testament to not only the immense importance of the Party to black communities in the Bay Area, but also the power of the image and representation for an historically under-represented group.
