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.

Microagression

Even though pro-Afro hair movements began in the 1960's, it doesn't seem like there has been a lot of emphasis on these microaggressions until the last few years. This could be out of my own ignorance on the subject, of course, but do you think that there is a reason for this? Possibly the rise in social justice among millennials?
