Born in 1834 in Kentucky, she became known as the first "Aunt Jemima," embodying the brand's image starting in the late 1890s. Green was also an activist for civil rights and used her platform to advocate for African American representation. She passed away in 1923, leaving a legacy that has evolved significantly over time, reflecting changing attitudes towards race and representation in American culture.
