  • Nancy Green.

    Nancy Green was born into enslavement in 1834 Montgomery County, KY. But despite this, she became a wealthy superstar in the advertising world, as its first living trademark. Green was 56 years old when she was selected as spokesperson for a new ready-mixed, self-rising pancake flour and made her debut in 1893 at a fair and exposition in Chicago.

    She demonstrated the pancake mix and served thousands of pancakes, and became an immediate star. She was a good storyteller, her personality was warm and appealing, and her showmanship was exceptional.

    Her exhibition booth drew so many people that special security personnel were assigned to keep the crowds moving. Nancy Green was signed to a lifetime contract, traveled on promotional tours all over the country, and was extremely well paid.

    Her financial freedom and stature as a national spokesperson enabled her to become a leading advocate against poverty and in favor of equal rights for all Americans. She maintained her job until her death in 1923, at age 89… (By Thiraj Hasendra).

  • Satchmo.

    A Jewish family Karnofsky, who immigrated from Lithuania to the United States, took pity on the 7-year-old boy and brought him to their home.

    There he stayed and spent the night in this Jewish family home, where for the first time in his life he was treated with kindness and tenderness.

    When he went to bed, Mrs Karnovski sang him Russian lullabies, which he sang with her.

    Later he learned to sing and play several Russian and Jewish songs.

    Over time, this boy became the adopted son of this family.

    Mr. Karnofsky gave him money to buy his first musical instrument, as was the custom in Jewish families.

    Later, when he became a professional musician and composer, he used these Jewish melodies in compositions such as St. James's Hospital and Go Down Moses.

    The little boy grew up and wrote a book about this Jewish family, who adopted him in 1907. And proudly spoke Yiddish fluently.

    In memory of this family and until the end of his life, he wore the Star of David and said that in this family he learned "to live a real life and determination."

    This little boy's name was Louis Armstrong. This little boy was called Louis “Satchmo” Armstrong. Louis Armstrong proudly spoke fluent Yiddish and “Satchmo” is Yiddish for “big cheeks, a nickname some say was given to him by Mrs. Karnofsky! (By Inspire Drive).
