 * please read her linked biography. If she wasn't African-American she certainly fooled a lot of people. -Will Beback 05:16, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

She was definitely African-American. I am a former student of hers from Howard University. Her biography on http://www.schillerinstitute.org/biographys/sylvia/syliva_mem.html explains her background and history. Yes, she was definitely fair skinned to the point that people thought the she was of Caucasian decent. 207.36.180.236 14:46, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
