Nancy Green portrayed the Aunt Jemima character at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago and was one of the first Black corporate models in the United States.Subsequent advertising agencies hired dozens of actresses to perform the role as the first organized sales promotion campaign.

Like Uncle Ben, Aunt Jemima was not a real person but an image created to sell a food brand.

Damn! I saw a pic earlier in life and oviously didn't investigate. Just loved that syrup. Another memory - gone! :(
