Vassar
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.

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.

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), 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.
