As the company expanded, Landor’s base of operations moved from his home through several locations until it settled in 1962 on the Klamath, a docked ferryboat in the San Francisco Bay that would become an iconic part of Landor’s own brand. In 1941, Landor and his new wife Josephine Martinelli founded Walter Landor and Associates (today Landor) in their San Francisco apartment. A British image in the Library of Congress, which may have been created as early as 1847, shows a smiling black woman named "Miss Jim-Ima Crow," with a framed image of " James Crow" on the wall behind her.

Quaker said that the new packaging will begin to appear in the fall and that a new name will be announced later. So successful was the character and the product line, along with its Lost Cause romanticism, that Davis renamed his firm Aunt Jemima Mills in 1914.

Rosa Washington was born in 1901 near Red Oak in Brown County, Ohio, one of several children of Robert and Julie (Holliday) Washington and a granddaughter of George and Phoeba Washington. News of Aunt Jemima’s rebranding in June started a domino effect among food brands with racist or otherwise controversial mascots. In her book A Voice from the South (1892), Cooper had noted the fascination with "Southern influence, Southern ideas, and Southern ideals" had "dictated to and domineered over the brain and sinew of this nation".

With a broad smile and exaggerated teeth and lips, the mammy figure was a staple of blackface vaudeville, a simpleminded character whose domain was the kitchen. In Hawkins, a historical marker dedicated to her commemorates how she made a career during the time when Black women had very few opportunities. Harris would like to see the box include a photo of her aunt dressed as Aunt Jemima with the scarf — but also a photo of Richard looking like herself to show people a complete picture.Although the Aunt Jemima character was not created until nearly 25 years after the American Civil War, the clothing, dancing, enslaved dialect, and singing old plantation songs as she worked, all harkened back to a glorified view of antebellum Southern plantation life as a " happy slave" narrative. African American women formed the Women's Columbian Association and the Women's Columbian Auxiliary Association to address the exclusion of African Americans from the 1893 World's Fair exhibitions, asking that the fair reflect the success of post-Emancipation African Americans. Aunt Jemima is based on a real woman, Nancy Green, who was a storyteller, cook, and missionary worker. In an announcement on Tuesday by PepsiCo, which owns Aunt Jemima’s parent company Quaker Oats, the pancake-mix and syrup line formally began rebranding itself and moved one step closer to permanently abandoning its 131-year-old name. While work has been done over the years to update the brand in a manner intended to be appropriate and respectful, we realize those changes are not enough.

Try enjoying with fresh fruits, chocolate chips, and other toppings for a fun twist on a breakfast favourite.

The commitment we’re making is a reflection of our broader PepsiCo values of diversity and inclusion and support of the Black community,” PepsiCo said.
