But when the Aunt Jemima brand started, in many parts of the country, it would have been unheard of for a white person to call a black person Miss, Mrs, or Mr. If they had a black servant in their household, or a black employee, they were likely to call that person Aunt or Uncle, but nickname plus last name was the most common.
In these same places, it was required for black people to address white people on a miss or mister plus first name, no last name basis.
So my suggestion is to simply change "Aunt Jemima's" to "Miss Jemima's" and Uncle Ben to "Mister Ben's".
