title: First African Methodist Episcopal Church of Los Angeles Collection

description: The First African Methodist Episcopal Church of Los Angeles Collection currently consists of approximately 400 sermons given by Reverend Cecil “Chip” Murray. These recordings capture the evolution of Reverend Murray’s thinking during his time leading the church in addition to the messages he gave his congregation after pivotal moments in U.S. life, such as the acquittal of the LAPD officers captured on video beating Rodney King. These sermons, delivered with passion, great humor, and insights into the structural inequalities that led to events like the 1992 L.A. civil unrest, are a record of important events interpreted through the lens of Rev. Murray’s socially engaged African-American Christianity. Originally captured on VHS, a selection of these sermons have been digitized by the USC Digital Repository and uploaded and transcribed for optimum access in the Digital Library. Founded by Biddy Mason in 1872, the First African Methodist Episcopal Church of Los Angeles (also known as the First AME, or FAME Church) is the oldest African-American church in Southern California. During his 27 years as pastor, Reverend Murray transformed a small congregation of 250 people into an 18,000-member institution that brought jobs, housing, and corporate investment into South L.A. neighborhoods. After the 1992 civil unrest, the economic development arm of the church brought more than $400 million in investments to L.A.’s minority and low-income neighborhoods. After retiring from his ministry in 2004, Reverend Murray was named a senior fellow of the USC Center for Religion and Civic Culture (CRCC). He chairs the USC Cecil Murray Center for Community Engagement, a leadership training and capacity-building organization that equips clergy and lay leaders to guide their communities into full partnership in the development of underserved neighborhoods in Greater Los Angeles. Materials from the First African Methodist Episcopal Church Collection are part of the L. A. as Subject Community Histories Digitization Project. Thanks to generous support from the National Endowment for the Humanities (https://www.neh.gov/), the USC Libraries are digitizing this collection for public access.

title: RiceExtent v1.0: A Global Rice-Specific Land Cover Product from Multi-Source Data Integration

description: The study presents RiceExtent v1.0, a harmonized, high resolution (10 m and 250 m), global rice-specific land cover dataset developed by integrating verified local, national, and regional rice maps with ESA WorldCover using a reliability-weighted spatial merging approach that prioritizes source accuracy and spatial detail. Using an extent-based merging strategy rather than annual averages, RiceExtent captures the maximum observed rice cultivation extent rice cultivation, effectively representing double and triple cropping, fragmented smallholder fields, and inter-annual variability often underrepresented in other products. The final product was validated against Spatial Production Allocation Model, RiceAtlas, and Global Rice, along with USDA rice production statistics and &gt;29,000 ground-truth samples. The developed dataset captures an estimated global rice area of ~1.64 million km², closely aligning with official statistics and improving representation in Southeast Asia, South Asia, and Africa and the Americas. RiceExtent v1.0, provided through an open repository [repository name/link] with Python script offers a robust resource for agricultural monitoring, crop and hydrological modeling, and climate impact assessments, while enabling collaborative refinement of global rice mapping.
