The slave who taught Jack Daniel how to make whiskey



LYNCHBURG, Tenn. — Every year, about 275,000 people tour the Jack Daniel’s distillery in Lynchburg, and as they stroll through its brick buildings nestled in a tree-shaded hollow, they hear a story like this: In the 1850s, when Daniel was a boy, he went to work for a preacher, grocer and distiller named Dan Call. The preacher was a busy man, and when he saw promise in young Jack, he taught him how to run his whiskey still — and the rest is history ...

I find it disturbing to keep learning about Black people that give their knowledge away for others to get rich off of. Back then we did it with no compensation, today, we get thrown some change they call salaries that can't even be defined for many as a living wage. Whew!!
