I have been spent the last few days digging through old family photos and recipe books to remind myself why this image matters so much to our history. Keeping this legacy alive is about honoring a tradition that has sat on our kitchen table for generations. I am refusing to let some outsider replace our history with their own marketing agenda.

Seeing this kind of momentum feels surreal because it proves so many people cherish this history just as much as my family does. It is heartening to see that we are not alone in wanting to preserve a legacy that meant so much to our childhoods.

you would have to be one hell of a racial bigot not to like aunt jemima--this is from a southern white boy--i also grew up with her
Queen of the pancake isle! An image of someone who you would love and give big hugs too... that's what she means to me and my whole family... the sweetheart of the supermarket... an american classic, her grandson is right!
She was already made over to not look like a mammy, she now looks like a mom! Keep her like she is!
If you believe this is a racist symbol look up Nancy green the freed slave woman that Quaker Oats made rich from the contract and the activism she participated in.
It is extremely unnecessary to remove a logo like this one when it had become a staple of our society. Such nonsense ! -Victor Martinez
Part of history! Quit rewriting it
We honor her. Don’t do it
