Philippa Duke Schuyler (; August 2, 1931 – May 9, 1967) was an American child prodigy and pianist who became famous in the 1930s and 1940s as a result of her talent, mixed-race parentage, and the eccentric methods employed by her mother to bring her up. Schuyler was the daughter of George S.
Schuyler, a prominent black essayist and journalist Josephine Cogdell, a white Texan and one-time Mack Sennett bathing beauty, from a former slave-owning family.
Her parents believed that intermarriage could "invigorate" both races and produce extraordinary offspring.
They also advocated that mixed-race marriage could help to solve many of the United States's social problems.
