- There's no mystery about what goes into Jack Daniel's whiskey. The popular drink has been around for 151 years and its recipe is on the company's website, but a story about how Jack Daniel began his distillery is only now gaining traction. Michelle Miller reports.

Imagine how many inventions we stolen from slaves
YEAHA, JUST IMAGINE. NOT ANYTHING THAT RESEMBLES A HUMAN BEING. PERHAPS A SPINELESS RAT. HUH??
@ZULU MATUBU YES, WE DON'T KNOW WHAT EXCHANGE, IF ANY WAS MADE BETWEEN THE TWO. HOWEVER, JUST SEEMS LIKE THIS CHARACTER, TOOK ALL THE CREDIT AND BENEFITS. NO SELF INTEGRITY TO DO THE RIGHT THING FOR SAKE OF PRISONERS GENERATIONS. JUST HIS OWN. REAL SELF-CENTERED , LIKE THE REST. THEY NEVER REALLY WIN, IN THE END. EVEN THOSE WHO KNEW AS WELL.

Sure, honor the name, but where's the money for the family, etc!!
Right
Riight!
And I guarantee that "dedication brand" will not be promoted as hard as any of the other JD products.
Right on 👍.
Greatest comment of Truth ever
That is actually what I said
A foundation for the grand daughter would be necessary as well. She should Not be working there...she should have legacy cash by now.
Man Plan its honestly respect and just because she never was enslaved doesn’t mean she’s not affected by the aftermath of it I’m sure you’ve heard of Jim Crow and blacks being thrown into ghettos correct or are you in denial
Man Plan trust me if the great grandfather didn’t even create the whiskey jack Daniels wouldn’t have existed and the fact that he is black is the reason behind it all we barely got credit for anything especially back then
Justin credible did you just not watch the video?
No foundation should be made so it can gain more money the family itself won't see
@@oiseowemiaghomon7181 He didn't create JD's whiskey, he MAY have been there the 2 days when JD learned how to use a still when he was a boy. THAT'S IT!
Black man invented white man took the credit
Japaulus Hall he didn't invent the method, whiskey is Irish, he just knew how by working in an distillery. The Italians distilled liquor from wine first, the Irish and Scots made whiskey. The guy just worked in a distillery and taught another employee, so what
What else is new
@@adronlamb9334 It's true, but I think the real point is that Jack Daniel gained wealth and reputation for distilling one of the most renowned whiskies on the planet, but Nathan "Nearest" Green didn't (because he was black -_-).
Antuan Grantham Why? Has this happened before? Also he didn’t invent it. No one even thought Jasper invented it too, it’s an Irish method.
That makes them a very smart race
Sadly they didn't but you keep on feeling oppressed if you want and being poor etc
Thank you for revealing another African American historical contribution

Ive already replied to those three claims of yours on another thread.
I gave you Full names dates and locations, you didn't reply and yet here you are, again, still making the same claims again (with no names etc again).
You really are as stupid person aren't you.
Just repeating the same misleading information when you know it isn't true
Mary Woods
Lady Jennifer Bell Schofield invented the modern days hair straighteners in 1912.
She based it on an invention by Erica Feldman who used a straightening contraption in 1872.
She developed the idea from an early kind of hair straightener as used by Frenchman Marcel Grateau years earlier.
Oh, and by the way all three were white
The woman in purple, her great great great grandfather created J.D and she is working in a factory she should own. WOW.
Right... I was thinking that too
stupid statement.
why should she own it.

Apparently black people have been inventing stuff since the "dawn of man" apparently.
This woman is saying how fair, non-acist and nice JD was.
She debunked the theory that JD had slaves he also paid everyone equal for the same job but, somehow, people on here are hearing her screaming R-A-C-I-S-M
Damn that lady got some beautiful eyes
She looks like Jada Pinkett 😎
@Roberto Acosta Wrong her eye color is more than likely from a mutation of the OAC2 gene. There's untainted tribes of people with various shades of brown skin whom also carry this mutation unfortunately.

Jack Daniel ... what you can do is give the family 20% annually of the gross,
When the world ends
AppleSheep TV 100%
I really can't believe this is SHOCKING to people.
White people very often got rich because of Blacks.
When chicken grow teeth.....or when pigs fly !!!
Now the truth comes out watch them destroying that whiskey brand from the market and chang its name.
So will his family be compensated? Because I bet Jack family good 🤔
I think this was AFTER slavery - so he was paid for his work.
Of course not. They will always be excited to "keep his legacy alive," until the word *compensation* comes up. The hope is Blacks, for all the inventions that have been stolen, will only ask for a compensatory pat on the back. The moment money comes up, they're sharpening their talons.
Would make a nice movie. The story of Nearest & Jack.

That would be a great American story.

My question is have his fmly been compensated?
kkmichelle 314 she said his family is quite wealthy.
U r so right sis
They want to honor the family they need to compensate that family plain n simple
kkmichelle 314
Nope, because they have no claim because the recipe was JDs,he bought it from the Rev. Dr David Call who created it - not Green's
The video said his family was wealthier then his white neighbors
This family should be receiving equity of the company and/ or royalties for the recipe
Someone teached me how to make pizza, i have a pizzeria, should i give money to the person that teached me how to make pizza? Thats crazy talk...thats like universities demanding anual payments from their graduates.

@@rich2583 How? Im just trying to understand the logic of the retards spamming what you are spamming. Why must they get money from the company? The guy worked there EXCLUSIVELY because he had knowledge of whiskey, if he didnt knew anything aboiut it, he probably wouldnt had been hired.
Then, after that is clear, h--why are they entitled to payment? She never said that, its you guys on the comment section going bananas.
@@dominicwalli i mean... there LITERALLY wouldn't be a successful brand called Jack Daniels if it wasnt for him...
@@iiiMUNiiiQUE We cant know that,but, Have you had jack daniels before? Its not the best whisky out there. The reason,i believe, why it was so succesfull was mainly because there werent as many competitors, and the U.S. was full of irish, and recieving more.
Its like saying Coors light became succesfull because of its recipe....thats wrong.
They have to make JD seem like a nice person, good PR for the brand👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Lol you see it too smh
Exactly....I hope people can see through the B.S. Show me black ownership in JD then we can talk.
Knowing good and well JD stole the methods and ideas from the originator.
Only to offer him a job to ease his own conscience.
sounds about white
If he paid everybody equally, what proof do you have that he wasn’t a good man?
@@SylentONE did you steal the methods that allow you to read and write no someone taught them to you. I’m not sure how people as ignorant as you are make it through life day to day.
Not surprised at all. Give that family some shares of that Jack Daniels stock and business.
That’s not how it works The same logic would imply you would have to pay all of your teachers because they’ve taught you everything you know

How many times has this happened in black history. I am not surprised, he didn't get the credit for this theft.

Tell me about those times in black history
Ford stole the patent for the car from black inventor's.

How did Henry Ford steal the patent did he break into the patent office and take it?
But anyway it was the German Karl Benz who invented the car in the 1800s and who has the patent. Ford would have had to travel all the way to Germany to steal the patent
@@ItsNotRealLife www.blackenterprise.com/black-history-month-inventions-black-slaves-denied-patents/
What did he steal? Green didn't invent whiskey distillation and didn't come up with the recipe.
Reperarations to the Green family. Pay he what you owe us. #ADOS
Yes, but if they DO...they'll have to tell the story in the "Good white folk" narrative that you can hear in the reporter's summation. "Oh, the good WHITE MAN paid ALL of his workers the same wage! Innit that just so WHITE of him...?". THAT'S the price we pay, just to get what we DESERVE! Just like the families of black men shot unarmed by white cops have to be SILENT after they receive their little PENNIES from the state who MURDERED their children! They actually put GAG orders on them, so that they can't speak on how EVIL this system is! Yet, they gave the family of the WHITE woman shot in Minneapolis, like THREE TIMES what they give BLACK families, AND they convicted the BLACK cop who accidentally shot her! So this is the how different the treatment is when you're black! Smfh.
Oh and by the WAY....that WHITE woman wasn't even an Amerikkkan CITIZEN!
yes....I am an ADOS Leader here in Maryland and agree with you 100% !
Shout out to Lewis Latimer. The man who is responsible for lightbulbs having a stronger carbon filament
That is so true! Thomas Edison's bulb could not have been used successfully.
@Man Plan - No one said he invented the bulb, just that he made it better and able to be used successfully.
Lewis Latimer thanks you for shouting him out
Just remember that none of the people mentioned invented the light bulb. Thomas Edison never really had an original invention, all of his work was based on other's peoples work.
@@dominicwalli I never said Lewis Latimer invented the light bulb.
jack daniel's owes them half that company if he wasn't racist they would've got it

All I know is the Greene family needs to be compensated for their part of this company and handed over part ownership. The white man has taken credit for many of blacks inventions and have profited from these ideas and claim them as their own.
madboyreadynow28 exactly! The fact that they have come make up a scholarship or whatever to help compensate Green’s descendants for his part of the company’s success is very sneaky & deceitful. Why not give them a lump sum of money & call it a day? This news story makes JD out to be this racial pioneer when in fact he took a man’s intellectual property & never compensated him properly. Nathan Green was a partner not an employee & he deserves his share of the JD’s wealth & legacy.

All green did was teach jack the recipe for whiskey. It was already invented. Anyone could have done it but yet jack Daniel's was the one go succeed. Green was just a employee. Yall talking like he invented whiskey.
He invented the BEST whiskey. That’s the difference
Awesome story, and she is so freaking beautiful!!!!
I swear I was thinking that too😍. She's gorgeous!
Had to watch twice. Once paying attention to her. The second paying attention to the story.
ABSOLUTELY Good Story.
He didn't see race 🤔sure bc he knew he needed Nathan and could use him to become rich.
This is true. If Jack was so fair and really valued Nathan as a person he would've recognized the weight of his contribution as a mentor and given him a stake in his company. Something tangible he could leave to his own family as opposed to a few honorable mentions
She said "he didn't see race as a barrier." Not that he didn't see race. The fact that he paid all his workers the same rate based on tenure is significant, but yes, Green should have gotten recognition much sooner.
He should’ve gotten royalties for his family. The nerve that black wealth is not where it DESERVES to be!!! I have to laugh at the folks that drink that whiskey the most and really think black people had no contributions to be a part of history books

I feel like many people in here believe that the uncle invented whiskey...the poor lady in the video might find herself on a bad spot if people start saying around that her uncle invented whiskey...that never came out of her mouth but everyone in here is throwing that around.
Don't be silly.
If I wanted to run a distillery and the first person I asked if he wanted to work for me didn't want to - I wouldn't give up, I would just find someone else to help me.
The Whiskey would still have been made by JDs distillery - it may have just had a different recipe. It might have been better - it might have been worse - or the recipe may have been Jacks all along and Greene helped with some other process.
To suggest there would be no whiskey just because an potential employee didn't want to work there is silly. You get someone else.

Thank you for sharing because as black person I love hearing the contributions my black people.
Oh let no one fool you. Black people have contributed a lot to America but were never given credit. White people have stolen for their wealth but they pretend they did it all on their own which is BS. Lewis :Latimer a Black inventor invented a more practical light bulb for which he received a patent but Thomas Edison is always given credit.
Latimer also worked for Edison and Alexander Graham Bell (telephone inventor?) as a draftsman which means Latimer did the schematic drawings for Bell's phone and some of Edison's "work" to apply for patents. Now think if Bell invented the phone, why would he need Latimer or anyone else to draw his schematics. He wouldn't!
if it's your idea, how can I draw your designs! I can't! they are in your head not mine. An architect designs a building from beginning to end but lets say he had the idea but couldn't do the drawings. That makes no sense!

Ok did any1 watch the video?cuz 1st off.irish invented whiskey 1000 yrs ago or more.And Javk and Nathan were friends great friends.and he was paid well and lived better than most whites it said.and He bought the product from another man amd nathan taught him how to distill whiskey.He disnt invent or make jack Daniels.the ingredients were boughtt from another man who already was making what we taste the jack we drink today.watch the video
It is unfortunate that many people just assume that every single white person hated every person of color in those days. There were probably many friendships and relationships that have been forgotten over time. That is why it is so great to have family and friends to pass down stories and memories to. Imagine if Nathan didn't have any kids. We may have never discovered his part in the Jack Daniels story.

I/e: Netflix movie: The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks!!! Major turning point in History
I saw it on HBO
That story still hunts me
Absolutely disgusting how she and family was done
Never forget what she’s contributed to the world 🧐
Exact reason why I refuse to do an ancestry test
I’m not freely giving my dna to anyone
Side bar:
Yes I know she went to the hospital and they stole it
Yes I know dna companies say they destroy it and need your consent
Thank you for mentioning it
Who is she? Is it on Hulu too?
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE MY BLACK PEOPLE AND ABSOLUTELY LOVE BEING BLACK."BLACK&PROUD"🙏🙏🙏💯
Marie Mary Amen..🙏
Yes were magical!! ✨🖤✨
Dante As you should
RIGHT ON!!
At a time so divided by racists, I think a movie based on this story would be awesome right about now.
My Time By Tony
Nobody would watch such a boring film
Peter McIver my brother, I think this is far from boring.
My Time By Tony
It's far from theft and racism too
People are commenting on the click bait title without actually watching the video
Peter McIver no no no, not what I meant, on the contrary I agree with you. That’s what I like about it. I like the union between the two. 🙂
I was drooling over her research room!!! Fawn Weaver is doing great work!
My g grandfather was Jack Daniel brother. I know the two books that were mentioned. I love this story.
NOW, THAT YOU KNOW. WON'T SEE YOU OR ANY KIND STEP FORWARD FIGHTING FOR ANYTHING TO DO WITH TRUTH. "BETCHA". TILL THEN, SOOOO!!
@El diablo da Costa FROM THE MOTHER OF AN IDIOT, YOU WANT TO CALL NAMES, PICK A FIGHT, I DON'T BACK DOWN. BRRRRING IT!! NOW!!
God bless you MS. Fawn Weaver!!! THANK YOU for finding the truth.. There are so many more stories like this, to numerous to count...
She’s lying about a lot of this for profits
As an African American and former drinker Jack Daniel's straight was my drink. I never drank a shot of any alcohol with my son, who is now 30 years of age. Last week he got married. What does he order from the open bar, Jack and Coke. Like father like son. I used to say me and Jack D were best of friends.
Lmao this is great
The first sign you know something is fishy about the story is when it’s on CBS
Omg! You are so right, I was like yeah right all these mofos are under the the Baphomet anything you see on T.V. is pretty much false. Satanic agenda! If it were true, then wouldn't you think the descendant of this man after all these years would have told the story? It someone else to research this information (and for what good reason) to bring this information the the light. But I guess they know people believe whatever the T.V. says is true. Who knows it just may be a way to hike up their sales.
Forget this......it's time for REPARATIONS!!!
HEAVY
Exactly
EXACTLY! That's the FIRST thing that came to mind when I saw this!
@Man Plan You know nothing of africa lmao
Do you mean the unearned food stamps, free housing, free healthcare etc - or are you expecting even more totally unearned handouts?
I wouldnt be surprise if K.F.C has the same story...black creates recipe..white man steals it ,as his own !!
Everything great thing made, invented, built was done by black folks. Caucasians the take it and slap a white face and white name on it and remove all traces of black involvement. Didn’t know previously that black architects, builders, labourers built the White House. Yet they slapped the name “White House” on it and removed every evidence or trace of black involvement. Ford Motors production lines was invented by a black man. So many more. It’s crazy to see how other folks have snatched the credit and royalties and scrubbed off black involvement.
You both are extremely ignorant low info and should be ashamed of your lack of knowledge.
C'mon freddie ur white...obviously the truth is going to hurt , i get it😂.....but facts dont lie, black man invented whiskey...and im damn SURE black man invented KFC ...deal with it fraud lol !!
Actually it was a black woman
@@coolcng187 oh was it ...thankyou for clearing that up , either way i knew we were behind it 👊
Beautiful Sista Reporting This Historical Information On The late Legend Mr Nathan “Nearest” Green.
This is a beautiful story. I admired her tenacity in how she honored Nearest Greene. This is also a heartfelt story and a part of Black American history. There are so many unknown stories like this. Fawn Weaver , Earnest would be PROUD. 🤎🖤🤎🖤. I’m proud of you too. 💐
Honoring his name is okay, how about honoring the descendants of the slaves with their share of the profits.
Did u not pay attention? It stated the company(owner) never owned slaves, it was established after the 13th Amendment. It employed both blacks and whites and paid them equal salary(wich wasn't typical in those times). They already said that the special edition whiskey that told the story, proceeds would go to a foundation.
Lazy Tattoos what foundation?
Really? Getting recognition is great. However, there are thousands of stories about how someone, other than the company or person that mass produced the product, first developed it and then later watched as a company made millions. This isn't unique to any racial group. The company certainly doesn't owe a descendant money all these years later.
Dude they literally said proceeds would go to scholarship fund for the desendants as well the families foundation. 5:40
Wow! what an amazing story! I love history! TRUE HISTORY! and I love learning things that I never knew about...
And I love Boriquas!! Hola mami!
@TheSushiraw Jack didnt steal the recipe he bought it. That part was left out. He hired Green after getting the recipe.
@@ozlovescoffee5595 your comment has nothing do with anything that was said!
Not a whiskey drinker, but I gots to cop that Nerus drank.
I BE SO GOT DAMM GLAD WHEN GOD DESTROY THESE HEATHENS
@Greg Potter wasn't a nice thing what ESAU did to US...but to late for him to REPENT...
I'm not SURPRISED ✊🏾
For the Nathaniel Green Family and his descendants and also the original crew - Millions if not billions of dollars in Retrospect payments, royalties, stock, shares, endowments, land and other compensation is owed and should be issued immediately!
Lawyer Up Green Family!
For what? Green didn't invent whiskey distillation and the recipe was bought from a Reverend Dan Call. Green taught distillation to Jack Daniels, like teaching someone how to work on a car.
You"re so right
Shut up and drink Jack, and this new product here...
What a nice guy Mr Daniels was.... touching story.
I searched for this story. Very interesting!!
Now pay his family what his owed. African Americans deserve credit and money.
For what? He didn't invent whiskey distillation and didn't come up with the recipe. He only taught Jack Daniels how to distill whiskey and was his first master distiller. It's like teaching someone how to work on cars and making them their master mechanic in the shop. They didn't invent cars, just knew how to work on them.
yeah the ones that earned it not you.
WHERE'S THE AFRICAN'S OR AMERICAN'S????YOU HATE THIS COUNTRY.YOU DO ALL YOU CAN TO TEAR IT DOW...THE STATUE'S,FLAG'S EVEN THE AMERICAN FLAG.SO WHY TAKE ANYTHING THIS COUNTRY OFFER'S.
Soooooo no money for the family that was behind Jack Daniels becoming rich? Sooo use the recipe to get rich, and ignore the family who should be benefiting from it?
It's always like that and always will be ☹️
Yriyah Yriyah: Yeah... It's the American way.
The recipe was bought from Reverend Dan Call, it was not invented by Green. Green taught Jack Daniels how to distill, which he learned from someone else. Jack Daniels made him his master distiller....that's it.
James Elliott. What makes you so smart that you think others lack comprehension?
SMMFH" Now it's time to expose them all, starting with KFC. LET'S GO !!!@
😂😂😂
Beautiful & Inspiring
Thieves and crooks bring tears to my eyes........🖤 so much we don't know!!
thieves & crooks aboarded the Nina-Pinta & SantaMaria then sailed across the ocean blue (you do the math)
I don't think I would call Jack Daniel a thief or a crook. At the end of the day, Nearest Green was an employee, and was actually paid the same wage as white employees. That in itself says a lot about Jack. If you work for Ford, you don't get your name on a car. If you work for Ben & Jerry's and create a new flavor, it's highly unlikely that it will be named after you. But, I do think this man should have been mentioned in Jack's biography. I will remember the name Nearest Green, and I'll pour a little liquor out in his memory next time I drink.
I wouldn't say it's the same at all. This was a mentor/apprentice type relationship. Nathan taught Jack the skill of making whiskey. It is good Jack paid him a wage equal to his counterparts, at the very least he earned and deserved it.
Well your people make up 50% of them in my country
His main family should get a percentage for the rest of there life that's the right thing to do
No they shouldnt. Have you ever had a job? Its called an 'employee' look it up...
@El diablo da Costa lol stay in school.
@@geoffreykidder5694 in this situation it's call partnership.
@@mzeeasage7426 I dont know if english is your first language, but 'employee' and 'partner' dont mean the same thing in any languages I know.
Agreed and Jack Daniels should have done that back then but doing so would be admitting he didn't invent Jack Daniels Whiskey and he wasn't going to do that.
Good job, young Woman I very proud of your research . Because the truth set us free.
