WGN - Chicago, IL, U.S. - People paying respect to Nancy Green by her tombstone. A special ceremony was held at the grave of Nancy Green, the original Aunt Jemima, some 97 years after her death, at 10 AM. at Oak Woods Cemetery, where Green was buried in 1923, in an unmarked grave. The ceremony was sponsored by the Bronzeville Historical Society, which successfully spearheaded a campaign that raised $6,500 for a headstone for Green’s grave. The event capped years of hard work by Bronzeville Historical Society’s Sherry Williams, to honor a Black woman who made significant contributions to the Quaker Oats brand of pancake mixes and products.
