The Story of Nancy Green
Born into slavery in Kentucky in 1834, Nancy Green became the face of Aunt Jemima pancake mix after attracting crowds with pancake demonstrations and storytelling at Chicago’s 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition. She promoted the brand for about three decades while also supporting Chicago’s African American community, helping establish Olivet Baptist Church and working on religious and social causes. Green died in Chicago in 1923 and was buried in an unmarked grave; the brand later retired the Aunt Jemima name and image in 2020, relaunching as Pearl Milling Company in 2021.
