The face of Aunt Jemima was originally based on a character from a minstrel show and was first depicted by artist Nancy Green in the early 1900s. Green, an African American woman, portrayed the character in promotional materials for the pancake mix. Over the years, the image has undergone several updates and redesigns, but its origins are rooted in racial stereotypes. In 2020, the brand announced plans to change its name and imagery due to growing criticism of its racial connotations.
