In 1897, when the very light-skinned Anita Hemmings graduated from Vassar College, she announced that she was an African American. The college administration, which had an unwritten rule of not admitting black students, expressed outrage at the deception.[1][2][3]
Family
According to Jillian Sim, the great-granddaughter of Anita Hemmings, Anita Florence Hemmings was related to the Hemings slave family of Thomas Jefferson's Monticello. They are descended from a sibling of
Sally.[4]
Anita's great grandfather, Peter Hemings (1770–1835) was a brother of
Sally Hemings (1773–1835).
Hemmings married Andrew Love, MD (né Andrew Jackson Love; 1861–1948),[a] on October 20, 1903, in
Boston at
Trinity Church. Fr. Charles Neale Field,
S.S.J.E. (1849–1929) performed the ceremony. He was pastor of the Church of St. Augustine (Episcopal), Phillips Street in the
West End. Anita and Andrew's marriage license indicates their race as African American.
Rev. Field also, in 1896, performed the ceremony for the marriage of Elizabeth Baker and William Henry Lewis – Anita was maid of honor.
