Quaker Oats made a big announcement in 2020 that they were getting rid of the “Aunt Jemima” brand because of the Black Lives Matter movement.
But just a day after that, a great-grandson of “Aunt Jemima” spoke out against the decision. He said his family believes it’s wrong and would erase black history and the suffering they went through.
“It’s not fair to me and my family. This is a part of my history,” said Larnell Evans Sr., who is a Marine Corps veteran. He also accused the company of trying to erase the history of slavery after making money from it for so long.
