Subject

How Jack Daniel’s Whiskey Came To Be

Description

They uncovered an unexpected friendship between an enslaved Black person on loan to a wealthy preacher and a white teenager who worked at that preacher’s grocery store. This relationship launched a multibillion-dollar whiskey company and contradicted what many assume about race relations in the South. It was only by chance that they were there at all.
