The Story of Nathan “Nearest” Green

Most of you may have never heard of Nathan “Nearest” Green but his story is a true American story and of utmost importance especially now in black history month.

Nathan “Nearest” Green didn’t just make great whiskey, he made history. His story is just one of the many great African American stories that remain quite untold and that is why for today’s episode I want to shed some light on this.  

I hope by the end of this episode you are inspired by what you heard and I also encourage you to do your own digging on him.    

With that said, let’s get right into it.
