Biographie
White attended Smith College beginning in the early 1940s. At the beginning of her freshman year, a fellow student in White's dormitory, who was white, told Smith that she would leave the school unless White were forced to leave. She said she refused to share a dormitory with a woman of color. The college told the girl she was free to leave, but White would remain enrolled and in her current rooming situation. The startled roommate elected to stay. White majored in sociology at Smith, but found herself increasingly drawn to musical theatre. She studied voice and acting during her time there as well. She was the first African-American president of Smith's House of Representatives, which was part of the Student Government Association.Le plus souvent avec
