Bust of Nancy Green

By Diane Howell, 2022
This is the face of Nancy Green, the original spokesperson for “Aunt Jemima”, who was born enslaved in Mt. Sterling. This bust of glazed clay was unveiled at the 1st ever Nancy Green Pancake Queen Spring Festival at GRAC in 2022. Residents of Montgomery County take pride in Nancy Green’s origins here while still remaining cognizant of the not so positive aspects that Mt. Sterling must have played into her life before freedom.
