Larnell Evans Sr., the great-grandson of “Aunt Jemima,” is speaking out against Quaker Oats’ decision to retire the iconic breakfast brand. He believes that simply removing the brand is an attempt to erase the racist history associated with it, and that it is an injustice to his family.
Harrington became a national celebrity, traveling across the United States and Canada, serving as Aunt Jemima and making her famous pancakes. However, her descendants filed a lawsuit in 2014, claiming that Quaker Oats had not paid royalties to Harrington’s family. The case was dismissed by a federal judge, stating that Evans and his nephew did not have legal standing to sue in Harrington’s name.
