Drinking Old No.7 and listening a story about this noble and hard working black man who was teach Jack how to make the best whiskey on the world... Priceless!
Very nicely done lady...true class on your part...shows you are an educated, confident, articulate American....what this country would be like if America would have been like Lynchburg in those years....
Fawn thank you for all the hard and intense research you have done on this African & African History this is a great true story! we love it we as black people can't be denied there is black history to be told all over the world all you have to do is look
Very moving story. African Americans have lost out so much in history of their achievements. I will definitely have a drink of JD to honor Mr Green this weekend. Ty
One of the best story ever told. More so is the brilliance history behind it. “Uncle Nearest “ will forever be on our libs. Cheers to one of the greatest distiller that ever lived. Nathan Green. Also Cheers to The eloquent Fawn Weaver continue to make us proud.
I am very happy that you told us this story, Mrs. Fawn Weaver. You are truly an educated and articulated Black Queen of a Woman. You definitely brought Nathan Green's story to life and the history of his genius about teaching Jack Daniel about the art of whiskey distillery! Hats off to you once again, Fawn!
Fawn Weaver ROCKS!!! She has done and is doing an amazing job with TN history! She does an amazing job telling the story. Her research is outstanding and I absolutely enjoy hearing her speak!!
I know I have to change my jack daniel whiskey brand to 1865 brand. REST IN PEACE MR. NATHAN GREEN THANK FOR SHARING, YVONNE FROM HOUSTON 👌 🙌😇 💝👏 💯 PERCENT.
Check out this story. It has a short film with some additional history. It's very likely parts of this will turn into a movie one day. www.distillerytrail.com/blog/history-meets-distilling-as-uncle-nearest-celebrates-grand-opening-of-1st-u-s-whiskey-distillery-to-honor-african-american-video/
This needs to be a major motion picture it is real Black history....that needs to be shared widespread...because and iconic brand has taken credit for a black mans innovation....I see Chadwick Boseman as the mature Nearest.....
Went to the Liquor store today to buy something, Jack and Nearest sitting Side by Side, Bought one of each and the owner had a smirk on his face like Yep, that Boy knows, Then he started a conversation with me and we talked for like 30 minutes about this story, i just learned about it 2 days ago and feel like i know nothing lol, Badass Story I love it, maybe these 2 drinks can Bring America Closer Again
For all the black people who do not know how to read and write and do math. You need to make sure your ancestry is signed into a class right away. Take the responsibility to make everyone is educated and it can be done. We came this far by faith so get up everyone and unite stop the division.
Here is some additional info from the Nearest Green Foundation website. "Records show Nearest became the wealthiest African-American in Lynchburg, Tennessee immediately following the end of slavery and one of the wealthiest men in the area overall. His wealth exceeded many of his white counterparts, which was incredibly rare in that day and age. But it was the excellence in his craft that allowed him to succeed in spite of his original circumstances." It goes on to say that the foundation created the "Nearest Green Legacy Scholarship" in 2017 to send some of his direct decedents to college on a full scholarship.

Y’all don’t dare believe the lie that we can’t get along and be decent members of the HUMAN RACE. I grew up in Tennessee, my mom lives less than an hour from Shelbyville and Lynchburg. Lynchburg is just a couple counties away from the birthplace of the Klan. What a contrast! I’m ok with anyone being proud of their heritage or race but don’t make that centerpiece of your life. Treat people right, period!
lol... Most of y'all don't realize we have been breaking bread together here in The South for hundreds of years. Black folks and white folks get along much better here in the rural South than anywhere else in the world.
Yet people still believe black people should not have reparations. I respect other people opinions. I will not become angry or disrespect someone for their opinion. I just believe and trust Almighty God will have the final say. This is probably only one of many companies or businesses that were formed by the ingenuity of people who were enslaved.
I feel like it should be a beautiful holiday tradition for Afro Americans to make whiskey soaked cake and bourbon soak caked specifically by American based companies that have evidence of the use of slave labor and pour these brands into the cake as a symbol of there unfair unrecognized work so that it was not in vain.
A fallacy. Black people taking credit for things that they don't deserve.Call was the master distiller, he taught Green and Daniels. Distilling was invented in the twelth century by Arabs. There were eleven distillers operating at the same time, Jack Daniels was considered No 2. Whiskey was distilled in Scotland 150 years before America.
Irish whiskey dude 👌..it's been around a long time..way before he was ever here... including yourself and myself.. Fairy tales..for the record I'm not a fan of Jack Daniel. Good Moonshine is way better 👍
Ms. Weaver is one classy lady. The way she brought this piece of history to light is filled with compassion, decency and respect. Thank you.
Honestly im not used to hearing such amazing stories. Its really beautiful

@@k9m42 context. it matters.
Beautiful. I love this. #BlackHistory
This deserves better audio
Juice Iz Infinite yes, it's very interesting and a fine story.

I found this publication to be a great education source.

Sitting side by side. The same way they walked the earth. How appropriate!
Looking forward to trying some.
I'm not a drinker but after hearing this im gonna get me a shot of Nearest Green just to taste my black History
This is a very enlightening story in America's history. A black man who taught Jack Daniel about whiskey distillery. #blackexcellenceatitsfinest
I went out today and got my second bottle. We'll be worth the $100.00. Now, all I have to do is figure out when I will twist the top and take a sip.
Great Story , love this . BUT they have to somehow re edit so that they can take that horrible sound off.
Unfortunately, there was a furnace running while she was sharing the story.
❤❤❤❤❤
Movie movie movie!!!!!! 🗣️ Movie!!!!!
What’s wrong with the sound

Nearest was pretty rich at the end of the day. It's not like he wasn't compensated for this.

Everything came from the Ancients of the NEW WORLD
Wait does Fawn believe that racism still exists in Heaven ? 16:14 . Why would this be an odd sight in Heaven?

He probably carried the firewood to heat the still... whiskey is Celtic
And who taught Nearest... European Americans.
