“Aunt Jemima” was one of the first American brand identities. Her face is instantly recognized around the world as the embodiment of hospitality and a tasty breakfast. Her real name was Nancy Green, and aside from being the first Aunt Jemima, she was a real Kentucky hero: a community activist, philanthropist, and church missionary. Originally born into slavery in Montgomery, Kentucky, in 1834, Nancy Green became an icon.

Actress Debra Faulk of Kentucky Humanities brings her one-woman show portraying Nancy Green, to Wilmington as the community celebrates the rich heritage and contributions of African-Americans to the life and culture of our nation. Come enjoy this unique presentation on the influence of an American icon and how this former slave made a huge impact for good. Debra Faulk will portray Nancy Green on stage Tuesday, February 27 at the Murphy Theater in Wilmington.

Event is FREE and open to the public. Visit TheMurphyTheatre.org for more information.
