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!

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.
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.
I agree. A scholarship fund isn't enough, but 50% of Jack Daniels stock for all living and future decendents of Greene however would be a good start. Credit for the work doesn't mean much without the profits that contribution yielded.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha yearrrsss of slavory and they still be the number 1 criminals of the USA
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.

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.
The Jack Daniels story is only the tip of an ice berg. Here’s just 10 black inventors who hardly got a mention back in the day: 1. 3-light Traffic Light - Garrett Morgan 2. Touch-Tone Telephone, Caller ID, and Call Waiting Technology - Dr. Shirley Ann Jackson 3. Illusion transmitter - Valerie Thomas (NASA 3D imaging pioneer) 4. Laser Cataract Surgery - Patricia Bath 5. Gamma electric cell (cell phone and Satellite pioneer) - Dr. Henry Sampson 6. Gas Mask -Garrett Morgan 7. Blood Bank transfusion-Dr. Charles Drew 8. Carbon Light Bulb Filament -Lewis Latimer) 9. Automatic Elevator Doors (Alex Miles) 10. Refrigerated Trucks (Frederick Jones) …many more including the black guy who invented the colour PC monitor in the 1980s and made it possible to connect peripherals like printers to IBM compatible personal computers.
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.

@@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 -_-).
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.
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.
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.
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

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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
Great story, but why is the family not compensated for his invention retroactively? I like to idea of a scholarship, however if he were white he and his family would have generational wealth.
Because he didn't invent whiskey making. He didn't come up with recipe, it was bought from Reverend Dan Call. He taught Jack Daniels how to make it, kind of like teaching someone how to work on a car. They didn't invent the car or design it but knew how to work on it.
@BigBlackBootyDaddy Who do you think taught Green how to distill whiskey. I guess a you're saying it would take a magical being to teach Green to distill whiskey? Wow, that's pretty racist.
Why isnt Henry Ford's family the richest in the world for "perfecting" the assembly line manufacturing process? Everything is made on an assembly line... Same reason.
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.
Did you know that Thomas Edison took Grandville T. Woods to court more than once over a patent ( inductor telegraph) and each time ( it is believed six times, Edison was considered a bully back in the day) Thomas Edison lost due to the fact thatt he could not reproduce the invention he claimed he invented. Edison offered to make Grandville T. Woods his partner. Woods declined the offer. Later, Woods , due to the fact that African Americans did not have the same advantages and opportunities that white inventors , he would sell his patent to Edison. Edison stole ideas hounded competitors in court such as Grandville T. Woods and floated hostile rumors about inventions better than his own. You be the judge. I believe that if these truths as stated above are made mandatory to be taught in all schools across America that people will look at racism and ra ist ideology differently. What do you think?

@ Ant - To answer your question.... Mr. Green was mentioned over 50 times in Jack Daniel’s autobiography, so his contributions are published. However, Jack Daniels (the company) could’ve done more to highlight Nearest Green before now.
@@Rubonios1 So how many people you think read that autobiography? The company had a chance to make this wide known especially in today's social media world. They chose not to. That's the issue. They were scared of back lash from some racist folks who would be upset that their beloved whiskey exist because of a black man. History is history. No way around it.
@@mrmillion09ify And I just got finished taking to some young white kids tell me we're just playing the victims and have the same rights and opportunities than them. I told them that statement alone speaks to their white privilege. You wanna get mad at them, but the schools will not teach history as it really was. Blacks know of the strife by handed down stories, listening to other blacks and riders like elders, and also going through the same crap today.
Look how they stole this man's inheritance and have sanitized the thievery of Greene's recipe. They are giving this family crumbs from the massa's table. This is tomfoolery! They keep emphasizing the thief didnt own slaves! WTH?! This was before the Emancipation Proclamation! Sometime I simply get infuriated by the docility of my people. Trust and believe if a white person discovered that an ancestor's intellectual property had been stolen by a Black man and resulted in him becoming a billionaire they would be lawyered up in court fighting for that money instead of being happy with cornbread crumbs .
But he didn't create whiskey distillation nor the recipe. He taught Jack Daniels how to distill whiskey and was his first master distiller....that's it. Green learned how to do it from somebody else.
@@kalel33 The point is He like many Blacks contribute to others success but benefit little, there are numerous examples of this, Jack Daniels family gets generational wealth, what did that Black man's family get? Crumbs.

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!

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

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.

3. Illusion transmitter - Valerie Thomas (NASA 3D imaging pioneer)
4. Laser Cataract Surgery - Patricia Bath
5. Gamma electric cell (cell phone and Satellite pioneer) - Dr. Henry Sampson
6. Gas Mask -Garrett Morgan
7. Blood Bank transfusion-Dr. Charles Drew
8. Carbon Light Bulb Filament -Lewis Latimer)
9. Automatic Elevator Doors (Alex Miles)
10. Refrigerated Trucks (Frederick Jones)
…many more including the black guy who invented the colour PC monitor in the 1980s and made it possible to connect peripherals like printers to IBM compatible personal computers.
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.

Shut up and drink Jack, and this new product here...
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

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.

Great story, but why is the family not compensated for his invention retroactively? I like to idea of a scholarship, however if he were white he and his family would have generational wealth.
Because he didn't invent whiskey making. He didn't come up with recipe, it was bought from Reverend Dan Call. He taught Jack Daniels how to make it, kind of like teaching someone how to work on a car. They didn't invent the car or design it but knew how to work on it.

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.

Did you know that Thomas Edison took Grandville T. Woods to court more than once over a patent ( inductor telegraph) and each time ( it is believed six times, Edison was considered a bully back in the day) Thomas Edison lost due to the fact thatt he could not reproduce the invention he claimed he invented. Edison offered to make Grandville T. Woods his partner. Woods declined the offer. Later, Woods , due to the fact that African Americans did not have the same advantages and opportunities that white inventors , he would sell his patent to Edison. Edison stole ideas hounded competitors in court such as Grandville T. Woods and floated hostile rumors about inventions better than his own. You be the judge. I believe that if these truths as stated above are made mandatory to be taught in all schools across America that people will look at racism and ra ist ideology differently. What do you think?

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 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...
GOOD to acknowledge so many that were ERASED. Amen
SMMFH" Now it's time to expose them all, starting with KFC. LET'S GO !!!@
😂😂😂
Great story. Why do "they" always try to hide black history?
The inferiority will be exposed.
Stop chat. Give his family what is rightful theirs. Every penny.
Wow! Jack Daniels company kept that quiet all thses years!! smh. They owe Nearest Green family some major 💰💰💰there would be no such thing as Jack Daniel's whisky if it wasnt for Green.
They kept nothing quiet. It was published knowledge for a hundred years.
@@AU9377 published where? How many people knew? Not many at all. Why is the distillery just now making it a part of the tour? Like I said they kept it quiet for years.
@ Ant - To answer your question.... Mr. Green was mentioned over 50 times in Jack Daniel’s autobiography, so his contributions are published. However, Jack Daniels (the company) could’ve done more to highlight Nearest Green before now.
Why are people surprised?? This is America history of leaving out certain things to fit a certain narrative!
@@Rubonios1 So how many people you think read that autobiography? The company had a chance to make this wide known especially in today's social media world. They chose not to. That's the issue. They were scared of back lash from some racist folks who would be upset that their beloved whiskey exist because of a black man. History is history. No way around it.
One of his descendants still work for him...in a low wage job. 😂
The Rayvolution i doubt its LOW WAGE
The 13th amendment abolished slavery, only in writing. Let's not forget that.
FACTS especially when you here about the slaves who knew nothing about it ended until 2/3 years later
@@mrmillion09ify And I just got finished taking to some young white kids tell me we're just playing the victims and have the same rights and opportunities than them. I told them that statement alone speaks to their white privilege. You wanna get mad at them, but the schools will not teach history as it really was. Blacks know of the strife by handed down stories, listening to other blacks and riders like elders, and also going through the same crap today.
Look how they stole this man's inheritance and have sanitized the thievery of Greene's recipe. They are giving this family crumbs from the massa's table. This is tomfoolery! They keep emphasizing the thief didnt own slaves! WTH?! This was before the Emancipation Proclamation! Sometime I simply get infuriated by the docility of my people. Trust and believe if a white person discovered that an ancestor's intellectual property had been stolen by a Black man and resulted in him becoming a billionaire they would be lawyered up in court fighting for that money instead of being happy with cornbread crumbs .
Africans & Black Am. contribute numerous ideas and invention to the world. Rarely get credit nor appreciated. But slowly coming to the light.
But he didn't create whiskey distillation nor the recipe. He taught Jack Daniels how to distill whiskey and was his first master distiller....that's it. Green learned how to do it from somebody else.
@@kalel33 The point is He like many Blacks contribute to others success but benefit little, there are numerous examples of this, Jack Daniels family gets generational wealth, what did that Black man's family get? Crumbs.
@@jolewis5286 It's not just black people who do that. It's anyone that were in on the ground floor of any new business. Do you think the people that worked for the Waltons at Walmart and helped them get their business going got anything but crumbs? HP, GE, McDonalds, etc. They all had people who helped out but the one's that risked their money on the business are the one's that ultimately ended up reaping the rewards.
Good job, young Woman I very proud of your research . Because the truth set us free.
Not a whiskey drinker, but I gots to cop that Nerus drank.
This lady has beautiful eyes.I am glad she went out her way to prove that someone who was black made the popular whiskey.
