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.

The Free Breakfast for School Children Program marked the Black Panther Party’s first community service program. Initiated soon after the Party's establishment in 1966, by 1969 the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense had developed breakfast programs in hundreds of cities across the country. Through the donations of local merchants, private donors, churches and other funding sources, the program provided children from low-income cities with foods such as scrambled eggs, bacon, and fresh fruit before the start of each school day.
