Aunt Jemima s name and face are now gone.
Lillian Richard and Anna Short Harrington both served as models for Aunt Jemima at different points, and well before the most recent version with the woman in pearls.
Vera Richard Harris, Lillian s great-niece wants to see Lillian s name plus the names of all the other models who portrayed Jemima inscribed on the new Pearl Milling Company packaging, to honor their contributions.
Harris doesn t want her great-aunt, or any of the other models, to be forgotten, as does Wanetta Cowan great-granddaughter of Anna who says these conglomerates have made a fortune off their family members images for decades.
