Nancy Green ' "Aunt Jemima"
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 years 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 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.
