This is part of my history,\u201d Larnell Evans Sr., a Marine Corps veteran, said, according to Patch. He then also accused the corporation of trying to erase slavery after profiting off of it for years.\u201cThe racism they talk about, using images from slavery, that comes from the other side \u2014 white people.<\/p>\n<p>This company profits off images of our slavery. And their answer is to erase my great-grandmother\u2019s history. A black female. \u2026 It hurts.\u201dQuaker Oats confirmed the brand, whose logo features a formerly enslaved black woman named Nancy Green, would be retired for good. As per reports, Quaker described Green as a \u201cstoryteller, cook, and missionary worker,\u201d but omitted the fact that she was born into slavery.<\/p>\n<p>Originally, Green was hired to serve pancakes at the Chicago\u2019s World\u2019s Fair in 1893, the first time the \u201cAunt Jemima\u201d brand name was used. After her death, in 1923, Anna Short Harrington \u2013 who Larnell Evans Sr. claims was his great-grandmother \u2013 stepped into the role in 1935, after a Quaker Oats representative saw her serving pancakes at the New York State Fair and decided to make her \u201cAunt Jemima\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Quaker Oats caused quite the stir in 2020 when it announced it would be retiring its \u201cAunt Jemima\u201d brand in light of the Black Lives Matter movement&#8230;. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11931","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>\u201cAunt Jemima\u2019s\u201d great-grandson angry that her legacy is being scrapped: \u201cIt\u2019s injustice to my family\u201d.
