Henry Hemmendinger was born April 1, 1915 and dedicated his life to the study of color science. In 1952 Hemmendinger partnered with Hugh Davidson and created Davidson & Hemmendinger (D&H).

It is unclear when the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) first admitted minority students. However, it appears as though the first African American students entered the Rochester Athenaeum and Mechanics Institute (renamed RIT in 1944) during the early 1900s. For instance, in 1906 Fredericka Sprague, the granddaughter of Frederick Douglass, took classes at the Institute. There are several other instances of African American students attending the school during the early 20th century as well...
