❌ No, Nancy Green, the woman who portrayed Aunt Jemima, did not die a millionaire. In fact, she could not live off the earnings she made from her portrayal of Aunt Jemima, and continued to work as a housekeeper until a few years before her death in 1923.
Nancy Green died a millionaire from the money she earned portraying the fictional Aunt Jemima in promotional settings.In June 2020, the Quaker Oats Company announced that it would be re-branding its Aunt Jemima line of products — syrup, pancake mix, and other breakfast foods — because the brand's origins were based on racial stereotypes.
But Green did not die a millionaire. In fact, she could not live off the earnings she made from her portrayal of Aunt Jemima, and continued to work as a housekeeper until a few years before her death in 1923.The origins of Aunt Jemima can be traced back to 1889 when Chris Rutt and Charles Underwood created a self-rising pancake mix.
At one point the most reliable means of consolidating the country involved inducing a kind of national amnesia about the history of slavery. Aunt Jemima was created to celebrate state-of-the-art technology through a pancake mix; she did not celebrate the promise of post-Emancipation progress for African Americans. Aunt Jemima's"freedom" was negated, or revoked, in this role because of the character's persona as a plantation slave, not a free black woman employed as a domestic.
But these dolls, like most of the fictional lore surrounding Aunt Jemima, did not accurately reflect reality.We have been unable to find any specific details about how much Green was paid for her portrayal of Aunt Jemima. The evidence, however, suggests that Green did not become rich from her work and was likely paid a paltry sum.," Micki McElya writes that in 1900, Green listed her occupation as a"cook.
