"Ms. Schwartz was an only child who grew up in the mostly white town of Woodstock, N.Y. Her parents, Peggy and Robert Schwartz, told her that she favored her father’s swarthy Sicilian grandfather. It was not until she went off to college that she learned the truth. . . . Before starting college, 'I was already questioning my whiteness because of what other people said and because I was aware that I looked different from my family,' she said in a recent interview. Then, based on the photograph accompanying her application, Georgetown University passed her name along to the black student association, which contacted her. . . . The university 'gave me permission' to explore a black identity, Ms. Schwartz said."
