The original “Aunt Jemima” was a formerly enslaved woman Nancy Green, who worked as a cook. Quaker described her as a “storyteller, cook, and missionary worker,” omitting the fact that she was born into slavery…
Nancy Green was first hired to serve pancakes at the Chicago’s World’s Fair in 1893, the first time the brand name was used. She wore an apron and headscarf while serving people at the fairgrounds known as The White City. She passed away in 1923. #AuntJemima #retro @shared.com
