Aunt Jemima article from her descendants. Negroes never studied the history ofAnna Robinson 'Aunt Jemima.'
Descendants of Aunt Jemima models Lillian Richard and Anna Short Harrington objected to the change. Vera Harris, a family historian for Richard's family, said "I wish we would take a breath and not just get rid of everything. Because good or bad, it is our history."[25] Harris further stated "Erasing my Aunt Lillian Richard would erase a part of history."[26] Harrington's great-grandson Larnell Evans said "This is an injustice for me and my family. This is part of my history." Evans had previously lost a lawsuit against Quaker Oats (and others) for billions of dollars in 2015.[27]
Anna Johnson was actually a celebrated chef of her time discovered after her picture was placed on a syrup bottle. Dats racist prevailed and sadly Aunt Jemima was gone from our history.
