"There was a real Aunt Jemima. She made stops promoting her syrup.
Seems that Aunt Jemima is a fictional character created by Quaker Oats and portrayed by:
Lillian Richard (March 23, 1891 – July 2, 1956) was an African-American actress best known for portraying Aunt Jemima.
In 1925 she was hired by the Quaker Oats Company to portray “Aunt Jemima,” a character originally developed in the 1890s by Nancy Green and based on the song “Old Aunt Jemima,” composed by Black performer Billy Kersands in the 1870s and later popularized in minstrel shows. Lillian was one of several African American actresses who portrayed “Aunt Jemima” and served as regional ambassadors for Quaker Oats. Throughout Texas she promoted Aunt Jemima brand pancake mix products and gave demonstrations in stores.
