"The Liberation of Aunt Jemima" by Betye Saar 1972

This work protests the notion of the black "mammy" who cared for white children and worked in white homes. 

The background shows images from the familiar Aunt Jemima pancake box, and the mid ground is filled with a large, grinning figure of Aunt Jemima in her characteristic polka-dot bandana and dress.  The picture within the picture contains another Aunt Jemima with a white infant.  The raised black fist in front of her, like the slightly sinister quality of her grin and the juxtaposition of the rifle with the broom, portrays the jolly Aunt Jemima stereotype and reveals the underlying rage caused by social injustice and racial discrimination.
