#BetyeSaar’s 1972 assemblage piece, The Liberation of Aunt Jemima reclaims the image of Aunt Jemima, juxtaposing her stereotypically smiling, docile nature as caretaker, as she is nationally known for as the face of the best-selling pancake mix, and arms her with Black nationalist imagery such as a rifle, African Kente cloth, and a raised fist. Rather than accepting ideas of Black female subservience rooted in slavery, as notioned by the cotton at the bottom of the frame, Saar renders the racist caricature, mammy stereotype and tokenism obsolete with symbols of pride and empowerment. #soulofanationbkm
