 Title:  Harry M. Bracken Papers 1957-1992 1965-1969 ead 
 Date(s):  1957-1992 
 Abstract:  This collection documents Harry M. Bracken's role as a university faculty member protesting the Vietnam War through participating in teach-ins, organizing student protest groups such as Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), writing editorials, and giving speeches. It also contains intra-university documents that highlight Bracken's involvement in actively protesting the War and resulting interactions and communications with the ASU administration. Bracken's teaching notes are also included, from a myriad of philosophy and history courses taught by him over the course of his career, as well as extensive research notes on areas of philosophy, history, syntax, activism events, and court cases associated with civil and human rights violations. The collection also contains Bracken's personal communications via letters and emails to his students, colleagues, and publishers throughout his career. While the bulk of the collection dates from the mid to late 1960s, the documents collected range from the late 1950s to the early 2000s.
