“So, they’ll take all the pancakes and butter out of Little Black Sambo?”

A couple of decades ago there was a restaurant called Sambo’s and it used a cartoon from the story as a brand. It was literally run out of business. The family of the woman who posed for the Aunt Jimima syrup photo was still receiving royalty payments. The left put a stop to that at and Uncle Ben’s because...racism or something.

I seem to remember eating at a Sambo’s when I was a kid. My recollection is it was similar to Shoney’s.

Aunt Jemima story.
