A great woman erased from history by idiots.

The branding of the syrup was a tribute to this woman’s gifts and talents. Now future generations will not even know this beautiful woman existed. What a shame. The world knew her as “Aunt Jemima”, but her given name was Nancy Green and she was a true American success story. She was born a slave in 1834 Montgomery County, KY. and became a wealthy superstar in the advertising world, as its first living trademark. Green was 56-yrs old when she was selected as spokesperson for a new ready-mixed, self-rising pancake flour and made her debut in 1893 at a fair and exposition in Chicago. She demonstrated the pancake mix and served thousands of pancakes, and became an immediate star. She was a good storyteller, her personality was warm and appealing, and her showmanship was exceptional. Her exhibition booth drew so many people that special security personnel were assigned to keep the crowds moving. Nancy Green was signed to a lifetime contract, traveled on promotional tours all over the country, and was extremely well paid. Her financial freedom and stature as a national spokesperson enabled her to become a leading advocate against poverty and in favor of equal rights for all Americans. She maintained her job until her death in 1923, at age 89. This was a remarkable woman, and sadly she has been ERASED by politics. I wanted you to know and remind you in this cancel culture time period

Have been thinking about this. My opinion is that it is more racist to remove her as the brand name than to keep her. I mean what she’s not good enough to represent the syrup company. Come on people let’s get real.
 
Not one time in my whole life did I EVER think of that black lady on the syrup bottle as anything other than a great cook. I would fix those S.O.B.'s and wouldn't have changed the name I'd have put a white lady on the bottle!!! Who says there wasn't a white "Aunt Jemima?" there fixed it for ya!!! Uncle Ben would now be white too!!! I get tired of being told I'm a racist because I'm white.
