The first African American woman to graduate from college was not Mary Jane Patterson in 1862, as previously acknowledged.The answer may never be definitively answered, as there were probably many Black women "passing" for white who may have attended and graduated from college in the early to mid-19th Century--if not earlier.Of the Black women (who did not pass for white) who attended college in the 19th Century was Portland, ME-born Adeline Eliza Hampton (née Freeman) who matriculated into Oberlin College in 1856. Her younger sister, Mary Christiana Wheeler (née Freeman) also attended Oberlin, graduating in 1873.
