This 6 ½" diameter vintage Aunt Jemima TOWEL HOLDER, based on an earlier 1900s design of Aunt Jemima with a red polka dot kerchief, most likely dates to the 1940s. The hand painted plaque is of a primitive design, likely handmade, and features two cup hooks acting as her "earrings," which may be used for small items such as keys or tea towels.

About Black Americana:  Black Americana, also known as Black Memorabilia, comprises various collectibles and ephemera with an African American theme. While many of these items depict an offensive, racist theme, not all of them do. Black memorabilia can honor those who have impacted the world, such as civil rights activists, musicians, researchers, and other significant members of the black community.

For more information and to better understand Black Americana, visit the Jim Crow Museum at Ferris State University.
