Ann Eliza Hammond (born
c. 1816) was an African American student from
Providence, Rhode Island.[1] She attended
Prudence Crandall's
Canterbury Female Boarding School and was subpoenaed[2] and arrested in 1833 for vagrancy as a result of Connecticut opposition to the school's attempt at desegregation. Her father, Thomas Hammond, had died in 1826.[1]
