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.

Documentary Timeline
The main feature of Truth-Telling: Frances Willard and Ida B. Wells is the Timeline of the conflict between the two leaders. The Timeline takes readers through the story in chronological order. Each page features at least one original primary source document that helps to explain what happened. The documents are accompanied by introductory text that places them in context. Some of them also contain in-line annotations that help to make sense of dense nineteenth-century prose.
Context and Further Reading
For more background on the complex issues at play in this conflict, turn to the Essential Context section. Each page contains a short essay with more information on topics like temperance, women's suffrage, and Reconstruction. Then check out Bibliography/Further Reading for sources and recommendations for more in-depth study. The About This Project / Contact Us page provides background on this project and how it got started.
Interpretive Essays
Finally, we hope you will explore the Interpretive Essays section, which features thoughtful reflections on the conflict and this project from scholars, activists, writers, and community members. Currently we feature a contribution entitled "When White Women's Silence Endangers Black Women" written by Michelle Duster, a Chicago-based author, speaker, and editor and the great-granddaughter of Ida B. Wells. More of these essays will be added in the future.
