Jack Daniels was created by a slave. Bourbon giant finally acknowledges the truth after 150 years.

The story told by the media for centuries appeared to be fake af.

The story went that Jack Daniels recipe was created by white moonshine distiller named Dan Call who passed it down to Jack Daniel.

Now the brand has revealed it was, in fact, one of Call’s slaves Nearis Green who taught the young Daniel how to distill.

Slaves made up the majority of men working in the distilling industry who were passing ancient African techniques down through the generations.

However, like so much else appropriated from enslaved African Americans - the distillery owners would take credit for their slaves’ whisky.

The fact that Green invented the original recipe has been known to local historians for decades but was only recently acknowledged by the whisky makers and the public.

Another example of what we call “appropriation”. In this case, I would call it “theft”.

I bet none of your friends really know the truth.

White people. Don’t ever again in your fucking life EVER ask my why appropriation is wrong.

so being from mississippi my grandpa would tell me stories about this and how white people took ownership. he also then started making moonshine and sold it to only black people.

i hope he is looking down and finally at peace bc libations were his life

Dad at 20/Dad at 67.

When editing the portraits I made of my father last weekend, I unconsciously selected the one that has the most in common with this self-portriat he did in the Army nearly 50 years ago, which has always been my favorite photograph of him. A happy accident.
