And so, the Black Chef on the Cream of Wheat Box had a very responsible, respected, and demanding job. In 1893, which is the “birthday” of the product, such a position would be an extremely laudable accomplishment for a any American, especially a Black Man.

Remember when the Pullman Porter was one of the best-paying and most sought-after jobs for black men? It was a very big deal. Will that be erased also?
