Abstract | When Anita Hemmings applied to Vassar College in 1893, Vassar did not know she was an African American passing for white. In August 1897, the college discovered that she was black, and it took another 40 years for Vassar to open its doors to another African American student. Discusses the phenomenon of African Americans passing as white to gain access to quality education. (SM) |
