Papers of Henry Halsted consisting of his manuscript "Uhuru's Challenge" (2004), describing his participation in the Associated Colleges of the Midwest (ACM) Africa Survey (June/July, 1962), and correspondence, photographs, and unpublished manuscript "Keeping the Past Intact," all relating to his experiences in WWII. "Uhuru's Challenge" was compiled between 2003 and 2005 recalling his experiences in Africa as a representative of the ACM-Cuttington College Program, a cooperative program funded by the Ford Foundation, investigating how the ACM might make contributions to the educational development of Ethiopia, Kenya, Nigeria, Uganda, and Tanganyika. The manuscript includes the origins of the program, Halsted's travel accounts and daily dealings while visiting the five African countries, various identified images of people and places related to the project, reports dealing with the outcome of the survey and the recommendations made to the ACM. The World War II materials describe Halsted's experiences with the 95th Infantry Division (1943-1945) and include correspondence to and from family members both during training and from the European theater and his reminiscence "Keeping the Past Intact." Also included are photographs of Halsted with other soldiers, civilians, prisoners, and various locations in France, Belgium, Holland, and Germany.
